Genome-wide identification, classification and expression analysis of MYB gene family in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.).

ABSTRACT: MYB transcription factors regulate the growth, development, and secondary metabolism of plant species. To investigate the origin of color variations in coconut pericarp, we identified and analyzed the MYB gene family present in coconut. According to the sequence of MYB genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, homologous MYB gene sequences were found in the whole genome database of coconut, the conserved sequence motifs within MYB proteins were analyzed by Motif Elicitation (MEME) tool, and the sequences without conservative structure were eliminated. Additionally, we employed RNA-seq technology to generate gene expression signatures of the R2R3-MYB genes across distinctive coconut parts exhibiting diverse colors. To validate these profiles, we conducted quantitativ
