MYB Gene Family in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.): Genome-Wide Identification of Hormone-Responsive Reveals Their Potential Functions in Growth and Development.

ABSTRACT: As an important nongrain crop, the growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is often affected by an unfavorable external environment in the process of cultivation. The MYB family is one of the largest and most important gene families, participating in the regulation of plant growth and development and response to abiotic stresses. Several MYB genes in potato that regulate anthocyanin synthesis and participate in abiotic stress responses have been identified. To identify all Solanum tuberosum L. MYB (StMYB) genes involved in hormone or stress responses to potentially regulate potato growth and development, we identified the MYB gene family at the genome-wide level. In this work, 158 StMYB genes were found in the potato genome. According to
