![]() To examine its function, three independent constructs was generated, one with a deletion in the C terminus membrane-spanning domain (OsNTL5∆C), OsNTL5∆C fused with the SRDX transcriptional repressor motif and OsNTL5∆C used with the VP16 activation domain under the Ubiquitin promoter to produce the overexpressing lines OsNTL5∆C, OsNTL5∆C- SRDX, and OsNTL5∆C-VP, respectively in rice. A preferential expression of a membrane-bound NAC-like TF OsNTL5 in developing leaves and panicles of rice indicated to us its putative role in flowering. However, their function in flowering or heading time is not well-known yet. NAC transcription factors (TFs) are well-conserved and one of the largest families of plant TFs. Flowering or heading is an important agronomic trait in rice. In spite of short-day (SD) nature, rice ( Oryza sativa) shares a conserved photoperiodic network for flowering control with long-day plants like Arabidopsis thaliana. 4Biological Science, Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Ikoma, Japan.3Development Center of Plant Germplasm Resources, College of Life and Environmental Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, China.2Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.1State Key Laboratory of Cotton Biology, Department of Biology, Institute of Plant Stress Biology, Henan University, Kaifeng, China.Singh 1, Hongyan Wang 1, Yanan Wang 1, Jeanie L.
