The NAC transcription factor ClNAC100 positively regulates plant height and fruit size in watermelon ClNAC100 modulates the GA pathway to regulate fruit size and plant height in watermelon. A natural variant (–1087, T/C) of ClNAC100 enabled the Dof transcription factor ClDof4.6 to bind and activate ... https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.70292
