NtMYB12 requires for competition between flavonol and (pro)anthocyanin biosynthesis in Narcissus tazetta tepals.

ABSTRACT: The color of flowers is one of the main characteristics adopted for plants to attract pollinators to ensure the reproductive success of the plant, they are also important in their ornamental appeal in Narcissus plant. In this study, we identified a NtMYB12 locus encoding an R2R3-MYB transcription factor. Comparative transcriptome analysis of loss- and gain- of NtMYB12 tissue relative to wild-type narcissus showed NtMYB12 was mainly involved in flavonol and phenylpropanoid metabolic pathways. Biochemical evidences of dual-luciferase activity and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay supported that MYB12 directly bound to promoters of NtFLS, NtLAR, and NtDFR that were cloned by genome walking assay, and activated NtFLS and NtLAR expression but repressed NtDFR expression. More interestingly, Nt
