Genome-wide analysis of MYB transcription factors of Vaccinium corymbosum and their positive responses to drought stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is an important species with a high content of flavonoids in fruits. As a perennial shrub, blueberry is characterized by shallow-rooted property and susceptible to drought stress. MYB transcription factor was reported to be widely involved in plant response to abiotic stresses, however, the role of MYB family in blueberry responding to drought stress remains elusive.

Results

In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of VcMYBs in blueberry based on the genome data under drought stress, including phylogenetic relationship, identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), expression profiling, conserved motifs, expression correlation and protein-protein interaction prediction, etc. The results showed that 229 non
