Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptomic Analysis of MYB Transcription Factors in Seashore Paspalum Under Salt Stress.

ABSTRACT: The MYB transcription factor family plays crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) is a halophytic grass species with remarkable salt tolerance, yet its MYB gene family has not been systematically characterized. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide identification of MYB genes in seashore paspalum using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based approach, resulting in the identification of 157 PvMYB genes. Phylogenetic and conserved motif analyses revealed distinct subfamily groupings and evolutionary relationships within the PvMYB family. Promoter analysis indicated that PvMYB genes contain multiple cis-acting elements responsive to light, hormones, and abiotic stresses, s
