Genome-Wide Identification, Phylogenetic Analysis and Salt-Responsive Expression Profiling of the MYB Transcription Factor Family in Cannabis sativa L. During Seed Germination.

ABSTRACT: Seed germination is a critical developmental stage exhibiting high vulnerability to salt stress. The role of MYB transcription factors (TFs) in mediating this process in Cannabis sativa L. remains largely unexplored. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis and identified 115 CsMYB genes, which were phylogenetically classified into 12 distinct subgroups. In silico promoter analysis revealed a significant enrichment of abscisic acid (ABA)- and methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-responsive cis-elements, suggesting their potential linkage to phytohormone signaling pathways under stress conditions. To investigate their expression during salt stress, we profiled a subset of candidate CsMYB genes during seed germination under 150 mM NaCl treatment based on RNA-seq screening a
