A novel gene, nacl, has been isolated from Arabidopsis. This gene encodes a protein (NAC1) which has been identified as a member of the NAC family. NAC1 shares a high amino acid sequence homology with other members of the NAC gene products in the N-terminus. Data show that NAC1 belongs to a newly identified family of transcription factors. NAC1 is involved in the regulation of cotyledon and lateral root development. Overexpression of the gene can lead to larger plants with larger roots and more lateral roots than in wild-type plants.

On a isolé un nouveau gène nac1 à partir d'Arabidopsis. Ce gène code une protéine (NAC1) ayant été identifiée comme étant un membre de la famille NAC. La NAC1 partage une forte homologie de séquence d'acides aminés avec d'autres membres des produits géniques NAC dans la partie N-terminale. Des données montrent que la NAC1 appartient à une famille nouvellement identifiée de facteurs de transcription. La NAC1 est impliquée dans la régulation du développement de cotylédons et de racines secondaires. La surexpression du gène permet d'obtenir des plantes plus grandes avec des racines plus grosses et plus de racines secondaires que dans des plantes de type sauvage.
