Abstract: NAC(NAM,ATAF1,ATAF2,and CUC2)transcript family is the largest one in plant genome,and they are specific transcription factors in plants. More than 100 members are discovered and identified in the genome of varied land plants. NAC transcription factors function variously and play very important roles in multiple physiological processes such as plant growth and development,response to stress,regulating the resistance to disease,the regulation of secondary growth,the transduction of hormone signals,etc. Here,the progress on the basic structures and functions of NAC transcription factors are reviewed,to provide related research to plant NAC transcription factors for reference.

Key words: NAC transcription factor, structure, biological functions
