Transcription factors play a key role in plant growth and development. As the largest family of plant-specific transcription factors, NAC plays central coordinating development environmental adaptation through its unique molecular design paradigm “fixed N-terminal structural domain + variable C-terminal regulatory domain”. This review systematically analyses multidimensional mechanisms developmental processes such as cell wall remodelling, root system architecture, leaf senescence fruit ripening, reveals their basis for responding to biotic/abiotic stresses strategies hormone signalling integration (ABA, SA, JA, etc.), antioxidant defence activation metabolic reprogramming. The study found that proteins precisely control multiple have evolved form both conservative diverse functional modules, which are great value crop improvement. However, research still faces three major challenges: network different crops is unclear, coordinated response has not been solved, ecological risks gene editing assessed. To this end, paper proposes build an ‘NAC map database’ use synthetic biology artificial intelligence technology smarter, stress-tolerant high-yielding crops, overcoming limitations traditional research.
