Function of the R2R3-MYB Transcription Factors in Dalbergia odorifera and Their Relationship with Heartwood Formation.

ABSTRACT: R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TFs) form one of the most important TF families involved in regulating various physiological functions in plants. The heartwood of Dalbergia odorifera is a kind of high-grade mahogany and valuable herbal medicine with wide application. However, the role of R2R3-MYB genes in the growth and development of D. odorifera, especially their relevance to heartwood formation, has not been revealed. A total of 126 R2R3-MYBs were screened from the D. odorifera genome and named DodMYB1-126 based on their location on 10 chromosomes. The collinearity results showed that purification selection was the main driving force for the evolution of the R2R3-MYB TFs family, and whole genome/fragment replication event was the main form for expanding the R2R3-MYB
