Leaf senescence involves massive multidimensional alterations, such as nutrient redistribution, and is closely related to crop yield and quality. No apical meristem, Arabidopsis transcription activation factor, and Cup‐shaped cotyledon (NAC)‐type transcription factors integrate various signals and modulate an enormous number of target genes to ensure the appropriate progression of leaf senescence. However, few leaf senescence‐related NACs have been functionally characterized in wheat. Based on our previous RNA‐sequencing (RNA‐seq) data, we focused on a NAC family member, TaNAC69‐B, which is increasingly expressed during leaf senescence in wheat. Overexpression ofTaNAC69‐Bled to precocious leaf senescence in wheat and Arabidopsis, and affected several agricultural traits in transgenic wheat. Moreover, impaired expression ofTaNAC69‐Bby virus‐induced gene silencing retarded the leaf senescence in wheat. By RNA‐seq and quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction analysis, we confirmed that some abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis genes, includingAAO3and its ortholog in wheat,TraesCS2B02G270600(TaAO3‐B), were elevated by the overexpression ofTaNAC69‐B. Consistently, we observed more severe ABA‐induced leaf senescence inTaNAC69‐B‐OE wheat and Arabidopsis plants. Furthermore, we determined that TaNAC69‐B bound to the NAC binding site core (CGT) on the promoter regions ofAAO3andTaAO3‐B. Moreover, we confirmed elevated ABA levels inTaNAC69‐B‐OE wheat lines. Although TaNAC69‐B shares 39.83% identity (amino acid) with AtNAP, TaNAC69‐B did not completely restore the delayed leaf senescence in theatnapmutant. Collectively, our results revealed a positive feedback loop, consisting of TaNAC69‐B, ABA biosynthesis and leaf senescence, that is essential for the regulation of leaf senescence in wheat.
