A NAC transcription factor OsNAC3 positively regulates ABA response and salt tolerance in rice

Abstract Background NAC (NAM, ATAF and CUC) transcription factors (TFs) play vital roles in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance. Salt stress is one of the most limiting factors for rice growth and production. However, the mechanism underlying salt tolerance in rice is still poorly underst...
