Abstract NAC (NAM, ATAF, CUC) is a class of transcription factors involved in plant growth regulation, abiotic stress
responses, morphogenesis and metabolism. Salvia miltiorrhiza is an important Chinese medicinal herb, but the
characterization of NAC genes in this species is limited. In this study, based on the Salvia miltiorrhiza genomic
databases, 82 NAC transcription factors were identified, which were divided into 14 groups. Meanwhile, phylogenetic
analysis, gene structure, chromosomal localization and potential role of SmNACs in abiotic stress conditions were also
studied. The results revealed that some SmNACs had different structures than others, which advised that these genes
may have multiple/distinct More >
