Wheat is the most important grain crop grown in our country providing greatest part of the daily nutritional requirement. Abiotic factors including salinity, drought, cold and heat stresses affect quality and yield of wheat varieties used for the production of both bread and pasta flour.
NAC proteins form one of the widest families of plant specific transcription factors. Members of this family are related with development, defense and abiotic stress responses. TaNAC69-1 and TtNAM-B2 genes were isolated from T.aestivum and T.turgidum, respectively. Then they were cloned into different monocot and dicot expression vectors to be used for further wheat and tobacco genetic transformation studies. To understand effects of salinity, drought, cold and heat stresses on expression profiles of TaNAC69-1 and TtNAM-B2 genes, quantitative real time PCR was performed. The time series expression profiles of TaNAC69-1 show that it was signi
