ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides wheat NAC nucleic acids and proteins that modulate grain protein content and senescence in plants. Overexpression of a NAC coding sequence can accelerate senescence and increase grain protein content and inhibition of expression can delay senescence. The invention also provides methods of using the nucleic acids to produce transgenic plants with altered grain protein content or senescence.
