A Novel R2R3-MYB Gene LoMYB33 From Lily Is Specifically Expressed in Anthers and Plays a Role in Pollen Development.

ABSTRACT: Lily (Lilium spp.) is an important commercial flower crop, but its market popularity and applications are adversely affected by severe pollen pollution. Many studies have examined pollen development in model plants, but few studies have been conducted on flower crops such as lily. GAMYBs are a class of R2R3-MYB transcription factors and play important roles in plant development and biotic resistance; their functions vary in different pathways, and many of them are involved in anther development. However, their function and regulatory role in lily remain unclear. Here, the GAMYB homolog LoMYB33 was isolated and identified from lily. The open reading frame of LoMYB33 was 1620 bp and encoded a protein with 539 amino acids localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Pro
