Identification of R2R3-MYB Gene Family and Functional Analysis of Responses of S22 Subfamily to Abiotic Stresses in Dandelion (<i>Taraxacum mongolicum</i> Hand.-Mazz.).

ABSTRACT: Dandelions possess a wide range of medicinal properties and demonstrate remarkable adaptability and tolerance to salinity and alkalinity. MYB genes in plants are implicated in growth, differentiation, metabolism, and responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. The function of MYB genes in dandelions, particularly the R2R3-MYB gene family, requires further investigation. In this study, we identified a total of 130 members of the dandelion R2R3-MYB gene family at the genome-wide level, all of which were mapped to eight dandelion chromosomes. MEME analysis revealed that TmR2R3-MYB proteins contain three conserved motifs. Phylogenetic analysis categorized all TmR2R3-MYBs into 29 subfamilies. Transcriptomic studies in different tissues indicated that TmR2R3-MYBs exhibit distinct expre
