From: Conserved residues in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) NAM-A1 NAC domain are required for protein binding and when mutated lead to delayed peduncle and flag leaf senescence

Mutations in the NAC domain of NAM-A1 delay peduncle senescence in the glasshouse. TILLING lines were scored for flag leaf senescence (a) and peduncle senescence (b) under glasshouse conditions (Experiment 2). Note that K3661P38S, which was homozygous for the NAM-A1 mutant allele, was compared to the combined data of all wild-type lines as there were no sibling wild-type lines for direct comparison (see results for details; grey background). The Y-axis shows days to flag leaf (a) or peduncle (b) senescence after heading. The delay in peduncle senescence for K2711R110W is pictured in (c) at 90 days post-anthesis. All statistics shown are two-sample Wilcoxon tests; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001. N is between 8 and 10 plants for all lines except K2615 Mut where n = 3
