Genome-Wide Screening for MYB Transcription Factors Involved in Flavonoid Glycoside Biosynthesis in <i>Carthamus tinctorius</i> L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a multipurpose crop with both medicinal and economic values. Flavonoid glycosides are the core bioactive components of this species for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, yet their specific regulatory mechanisms remain insufficiently systematically elucidated.

Methods

Based on the whole-genome data of Carthamus tinctorius L., key MYB transcription factors regulating the flavonoid glycoside biosynthesis pathway in safflower were screened and verified via MeJA treatment.

Results

A total of 202 MYB transcription factors were identified, and 18 candidate genes were screened out. Further analysis showed that four genes (HH_019113, HH_009268, HH_009443 and HH_029380) were extre
