Genome-Wide Analysis of Specific PfR2R3-MYB Genes Related to Paulownia Witches' Broom.

ABSTRACT: Paulownia witches' broom (PaWB), caused by phytoplasmas, is the most devastating infectious disease of Paulownia. R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TF) have been reported to be involved in the plant's response to infections caused by these pathogens, but a comprehensive study of the R2R3-MYB genes in Paulownia has not been reported. In this study, we identified 138 R2R3-MYB genes distributed on 20 chromosomes of Paulownia fortunei. These genes were classified into 27 subfamilies based on their gene structures and phylogenetic relationships, which indicated that they have various evolutionary relationships and have undergone rich segmental replication events. We determined the expression patterns of the 138 R2R3-MYB genes of P. fortunei by analyzing t
