Genome-wide identification of R2R3-MYB gene family and association with anthocyanin biosynthesis in Brassica species.

ABSTRACT: Brassica species include important oil crops and vegetables in the world. The R2R3-MYB gene participates in a variety of plant functions, including the activation or inhibition of anthocyanin biosynthesis. Although previous studies have reported its phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, and expression patterns in Arabidopsis, the number and sequence variation of this gene family in Brassica crops and its involvement in the natural quantitative variation in anthocyanin biosynthesis regulation are still largely unknown. In this study, by using whole genome sequences and comprehensive genome-wide comparative analysis among the six cultivated Brassica species, 2120 R2R3-MYB genes were identified in six Brassica species, in total These R2R3-MYB genes were phylogenetically clustered into
