Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors operate as important switches of transcription networks, and NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factors are a plant-specific family involved in multiple biological processes. However, this gene family has not been systematically characterized in cotton. RESULTS: Here we identify a large number of genes with conservative NAC domains in four cotton species, with 147 found in...
