Meta-analysis of the effect of expression of MYB transcription factor genes on abiotic stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MYB proteins are a large group of transcription factors. The overexpression of MYB genes has been reported to improve abiotic stress tolerance in plant. However, due to the variety of plant species studied and the types of gene donors/recipients, along with different experimental conditions, it is difficult to interpret the roles of MYB in abiotic stress tolerance from published data.

Methods

Using meta-analysis approach, we investigated the plant characteristics involved in cold, drought, and salt stress in MYB-overexpressing plants and analyzed the degrees of influence on plant performance by experimental variables.

Results

The results show that two of the four measured plant parameters in cold-stressed plants, two of the six in drought-stressed, and four
