摘要： Abiotic stress is the main factor that severely limits crop growth and yield. NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) transcription factors play an important role in dealing with various abiotic stresses. Here, we discovered the ZmSNAC13 gene in drought-tolerant maize lines by RNA-seq analysis and verified its function in Arabidopsis thaliana. First, its gene structure showed that ZmSNAC13 had a typical NAC domain and a highly variable C-terminal. There were multiple cis-acting elements related to stress in its promoter region. Overexpression of ZmSNAC13 resulted in enhanced tolerances to drought and salt stresses in Arabidopsis, characterized by a reduction in the water loss rate, a sustained effective photosynthesis rate, and increased cell membrane stability in leaves under drought conditions. Transcriptome analysis showed that a large number of differentially expressed genes regulated by overexpression of ZmSNAC13 were identified, and the main drought tolerance regulatory pathways involved were the ABA pathway and MAPK cascade signaling pathway. Overexpression of ZmSNAC13 promoted the expression of genes, such as PYL9 and DREB3, thereby enhancing tolerance to adverse environments. Adaptability, while restraining genes expression such as WRKY53 and MPK3, facilitates regulation of senescence in Arabidopsis and improves plant responses to adversity. Therefore, ZmSNAC13 is promising gene of interest for use in transgenic breeding to improve abiotic stress tolerance in crops.
