Abstract: As one of the largest plant transcription factors,NAC is widely involved in growth and development,as well as the responses of plants to abiotic stresses. In this study,PwNAC42 cDNA was obtained by Picea wilsonii transcriptome data,its protein sequence was analyzed by bioinformatics,and the expression of PwNAC42 was detected by real-time qPCR. The results showed that the full-length of PwNAC42 cDNA was 1749 bp,including 1140 bp of ORF that encoded 379 amino acids. The molecular weight of PwNAC42 was 42.92 kD and the pI value was 6.53. PwNAC42 had phosphorylation sites of serine,threonine and tyrosine. It was a hydrophilic protein that had no signal peptide domain and transmembrane domain. RT-qPCR results showed that PwNAC42 mainly expressed in cones. At the same time,the expression of PwNAC42 under ABA,NaCl,drought and low temperature treatment changed significantly. Therefore,P. wilsonii PwNAC42 may play a role in cone development and response to abiotic stress.
