A membrane-tethered transcription factor ANAC089 negatively regulates floral initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
The plant-specific NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors have a regulatory function in developmental processes and stress responses. Notably a group of NAC members named NTLs (NTM1-Like) are membrane-tethered, ensuring plants rapidly respond to developmental changes and environmental stimuli. Our results indicated that ANAC089 was a membrane-tethered transcription factor and its truncated form was responsible for the physiological function in flowering time control.
