  The OsNAC6 gene is a member of the NAC transcription factor gene family in rice. Expression of OsNAC6 is induced by abiotic stresses, including cold, drought and high salinity. OsNAC6 gene expression is also induced by wounding and blast disease. A transactivation assay using a yeast system demonstrated that OsNAC6 functions as a transcriptional activator, and transient localization studies with OsNAC6–sGFP fusion protein revealed its nuclear localization. Transgenic rice plants over-expressing OsNAC6 constitutively exhibited growth retardation and low reproductive yields. These transgenic rice plants showed an improved tolerance to dehydration and high-salt stresses, and also exhibited increased tolerance to blast disease. By utilizing stressinducible promoters, such as the OsNAC6 promoter, it is hoped that stress-inducible over-expression of OsNAC6 in rice can improve stress tolerance by suppressing the negative effects of OsNAC6 on growth under normal growth conditions. The results of microarray analysis revealed that many genes that are inducible by abiotic and biotic stresses were upregulated in rice plants over-expressing OsNAC6. A transient transactivation assay showed that OsNAC6 activates the expression of at least two genes, including a gene encoding peroxidase. Collectively, these results indicate that OsNAC6 functions as a transcriptional activator in response to abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. We conclude that OsNAC6 may serve as a useful biotechnological tool for the improvement of stress tolerance in various kinds of plants.

* The '''''SNAC2''''' gene was over-expressed in japonica rice Zhonghua 11 to test the effect on improving stress tolerance. More than 50% of the transgenic plants remained vigorous when all WT plants died after severe cold stress (4–8°C for 5 days).

* The transgenic plants had higher cell membrane stability than wild type during the cold stress. The transgenic rice had significantly higher germination and growth rate than WT under high salinity conditions.
 +
* Over-expression of '''''SNAC2''''' can also improve the tolerance to PEG treatment. In addition, the '''''SNAC2'''''-overexpressing plants showed significantly increased sensitivity to ABA. DNA chip profiling analysis of transgenic plants revealed many up-regulated genes related to stress response and adapta- tion such as peroxidase, ornithine aminotransferase, heavy metal-associated protein, sodium/hydrogen exchanger, heat shock protein, GDSL-like lipase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase.  
 +
* Interestingly, none of the up-regulated genes in the '''''SNAC2'''''-overexpressing plants matched the genes up-regulated in the transgenic plants over-expressing other stress responsive NAC genes reported previously.

* '''''SNAC2''''' gene was induced by drought, salinity, cold, wounding, and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment.
  Expression of OsNAC6 is induced by both abiotic and biotic stresses
 
  The OsNAC6 gene (AB028185; AK068392; Os01 g0884300; ONAC048) encodes a protein of 303 amino acids containing the NAC domain in its N-terminal region (Figure 1a). The NAC domain contains predicted nuclear localization signals (NLS) at amino acids 71–83 and 107–123. RNA gel-blot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses showed that OsNAC6 was induced by dehydration, high salt (250 mM NaCl), cold (4�C), 100 lM ABA, 100 lM methyl
 
jasmonate (MeJA) (Figure 1b and Supplementary Figure S1) and wounding (Figure 1c). Induction of OsNAC6 was observed in leaves infected with the blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea Kyu89-246 (Figure 1d). We also examined the effects of stress-related chemicals on the expression of OsNAC6 in rice culture cells. Quantitative PCR analysis showed that OsNAC6 was moderately induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and weakly by the elictor N-acetylchitooligosaccharide (Figure 1e).
 
  In order to assess the effect of the promoter region on the expression of OsNAC6 under abiotic and biotic stresses in leaves and roots, we generated the transgenic rice plants containing 1.5 kb OsNAC6 promoter–GUS chimeric genes. Quantitative analysis of the OsNAC6 promoter–GUS transgenic rice plants showed that OsNAC6 was induced by dehydration, high salinity, cold, ABA, MeJA, hydrogen peroxide, wounding and blast disease (Figure 1f,g).
 
Sequences of various cis-acting elements involved in the response to abiotic stresses were identified in the 1.5 kb promoter region of OsNAC6 (Figure 1h). We found three ABA-responsive elements (ABREs; ACGTGG/TC) (Hattori et al., 2002), three recognition sites for MYB (MYBRSs; C/TAACNA/G) (Abe et al., 2003) and six recognition sites for MYC (MYCRSs; CANNTG) (Abe et al., 2003). The OsNAC6 promoter also includes some cis-acting elements involved in the reponse to biotic stresses, such as four W-boxes (TTGAC) (Eulgem et al., 2000) and four GCC boxes (GCCGCC) (Brown et al., 2003), which are known as
 
recognition sites for WRKY and ERF transcription factors, respectively. Additionally, the OsNAC6 promoter has three

(d) Activation of the promoter–GUS fusion gene by OsNAC6 using rice protoplasts. Rice protoplasts were transfected by the reporter plasmids using various sets of effector plasmids [vector containing ubiquitin promoter as a control (ubi-vector) and ubiquitin promoter–OsNAC6 (ubi-OsNAC6)] and reporter plasmids [the AK104277 promoter–GUS fusion (AK104277) and the AK110725 promoter–GUS fusion (AK110725)]. Co-transfection of a constitutively expressed luciferase (LUC) gene using the ubiquitin promoter allowed normalization of expression in independent experiments. Bars indicate the fold of the GUS activity compared with the reporter activity using the ubi-vector.
