We cloned and identified a gene, MfNAC3, which encodes a NAC-type transcriptional factor from M. falcate.
MfNAC3 was induced under salt, drought and cold stress.
Overexpression of MfNAC3 was shown to enhance cold tolerance in M. truncatula.
We provided evidence that MfNAC3 is a positive regulator of MtCBF4.
Overexpression of MtNAC3 did not enhance cold tolerance in M. truncatula.
