Source Description
TAIRBelongs to a large family of putative transcriptional activators with NAC domain. Transcript level increases in response to wounding and abscisic acid. ATAF1 attentuates ABA signaling and sythesis. Mutants are hyposensitive to ABA.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. ATAF1-dependent repression of abscisic acid biosynthesis and signalling is a central component of Arabidopsis penetration resistance towards Blumeria attack.
    [PMID: 18694460]
  2. Expression of ATAF1 was downregulated after infection with Botrytis cinerea or Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato.
    [PMID: 19737096]
  3. ATAF1, Arabidopsis NAC gene, is a bona fide regulator modulating plant responses to many abiotic stresses and necrotrophic-pathogen infection.
    [PMID: 19752887]
  4. ATAF1 serves as a core transcriptional activator of senescence by coupling stress-related signaling with photosynthesis- and senescence-related transcriptional cascades.
    [PMID: 25953103]
  5. TREHALASE1, the only trehalase-encoding gene in Arabidopsis, was identified as a direct downstream target of ATAF1.
    [PMID: 26149570]
  6. ATAF1 plays an important role in response to salt stress and may be utilized to improve the salt tolerance of rice.
    [PMID: 27216423]
  7. Overexpression of ATAF1 in Arabidopsis plants results in elevated expression of ALDH7B4 in seeds, seedlings, and mature plants, whereas ATAF1 knock-out mutant plants abolished the expression of ALDH7B4. This study implies that ATAF1 may confer stress tolerance by up-regulating the target gene ALDH7B4.
