Transcription factors that bind specifically to the 5'-CATGTG-3' motif and with bipartite regions with 5'-CGTr-3' and 5'-YACG-3' as cores (PubMed:15319476, PubMed:29659022). Involved in the regulation of metabolic reprogramming during senescence by promoting the chloroplast protein degradation and the catabolism of lysine, phytol and free fatty acids via the induction of CV, LKR/SDH and PES1 expression (PubMed:29659022). Triggers also the degradation of starch and the accumulation of mono- and disaccharides during senescence by enhancing the expression of AMY1, SFP1 and SWEET15 (PubMed:29659022). Expressed in leaves and in root pericycle and epidermis. Accumulates during senescence. Strongly induced by drought, high salinity and abscisic acid (ABA). Slightly up-regulated by cold treatment. Not induced by jasmonic acid. The NAC domain includes a DNA-binding domain and a dimerization domain. Delayed senescence (PubMed:29659022). Reduced expression of genes involved in the degradation of starch and the accumulation of mono- and disaccharides (e.g. AMY1, SFP1 and SWEET15) as well as of genes implicated in chloroplast protein degradation and in the catabolism of lysine, phytol and free fatty acids (e.g. CV, LKR/SDH and PES1) (PubMed:29659022).
