Overexpression of the<i>Tectona grandis TgNAC01</i>regulates growth, leaf senescence and confer salt stress tolerance in transgenic tobacco plants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
NAC transcription factors play critical roles in xylem secondary development and in regulation of stress response in plants. NAC proteins related to secondary cell wall development were recently identified and characterized in Tectona grandis (teak), one of the hardwood trees of highest economic importance in the world. In this work, we characterized the novel TgNAC01 gene, which is involved in signaling pathways that mediate teak response to stress. Abscisic acid (ABA) increases TgNAC01 expression in teak plants. Therefore, this gene may have a role in signaling events that mediate ABA-dependent osmotic stress responsive in this plant species. Stable expression in tobacco plants showed that the TgNAC01 protein is localized in the cell nucleus. Overexpression of TgNAC01 in two out three independent transgenic tobacco lines resulted in increased growth, leaf senescence and salt tolerance compared to wild type (WT) plants. Moreover, the stress tolerance of transgenic plants was affected by levels of TgNAC01 gene expression. Water potential, gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence were used to determine salt stress tolerance. The 35S:TgNAC01-6 line under 300 mM NaCl stress responded with a significant increase in photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration and carboxylation efficiency, but lower water potential compared to WT plants. The data indicate that the TgNAC01 transcription factor acts as a transcriptional activator of the ABA-mediated regulation and induces leaf senescence.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
