Chitinases are enzymes that hydrolyze β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in chitin. Previous studies have shown that several chitinases accumulated significantly in A. mongolicus, suggesting that chitinases might participate in the adaptation to winter climate in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus.

However, challenges such as limited sample size, high data dimensionality and differences in omics modalities pose significant obstacles to fully harnessing the potential of these data. The prior knowledge such as gene regulatory network and pathway information harbors useful gene-gene interaction and gene functional module information.

Here, the structure, evolution, and expression profiles of NAC family TFs were analyzed systematically, and a cold and osmotic stress-induced member, , was selected and functionally characterized.
