Research Progress on NAC Transcription Factors in Regulating Plant Terpenoid Biosynthesis
Abstract
Terpenoids are among the most abundant compounds produced in plant secondary metabolism and play a crucial role in plant growth and development. They have extensive applications in medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. As key regulators of gene expression, transcription factors significantly influence the biosynthesis and accumulation of terpenoids by modulating the expression of critical genes involved in their metabolic pathways, thereby enhancing plant stress resistance. This paper focuses on the biosynthetic pathways of terpenoids, emphasizing the role of NAC transcription factors across various plant species and their impact on terpenoid synthesis. Furthermore, it investigates the regulatory mechanisms by which NAC transcription factors govern terpenoid biosynthesis, providing valuable insights into their modes of action. Finally, this review outlines future research directions, aiming to offer new perspectives and strategies to deepen our understanding of how NAC transcription factors regulate terpenoid biosynthesis in plants.
