Genome-wide identification of R2R3-MYB family in wheat and functional characteristics of the abiotic stress responsive gene TaMYB344.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MYB superfamily is one of the most abundant families in plants, which plays important roles in plant growth, development, and productivity. However, to date, researches on MYBs in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are scattered mostly, not comprehensive.

Results

In this study, a total of 393 R2R3-MYBs and 12 R1R2R3-MYBs were identified and analyzed including gene structure, chromosomal distribution, synteny relationship, and evolutionary relationship. Then, 29 clusters tandem duplication and 8 clusters segmental duplication genes were discovered. The expression profile of the identified genes under abiotic and biotic stress was analyzed using RNA-seq data. Based on expression patterns analysis, we screened many candidate genes involved in plant response to abiotic and
