Genome-wide identification and expression profiles of NAC transcription factors in Poncirus trifoliata reveal their potential roles in cold tolerance
This study systematically elucidated the global distribution and evolutionary patterns of NAC genes in P. trifoliata. In addition, the NAC gene exhibit adaptive expansion driven by tandem duplications. The identification of PtrNAC2, a negative regulator of cold tolerance in P. trifoliata, provides valuable insights into unravelling potential candidates for engineering cold tolerance in citrus.
