Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptional Analysis of the MYB Gene Family in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum).

ABSTRACT: The MYB gene family widely exists in the plant kingdom and participates in the regulation of plant development and stress response. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), as one of the most important cereals, is not only considered a good source of protein and nutrients but also has excellent tolerances to various abiotic stresses (e.g., salinity, water deficit, etc.). Although the genome sequence of pearl millet was recently published, bioinformatics and expression pattern analysis of the MYB gene family are limited. Here, we identified 208 PgMYB genes in the pearl millet genome and employed 193 high-confidence candidates for downstream analysis. Phylogenetic and structural analysis classified these PgMYBs into four subgroups. Eighteen pairs of segmental duplications of the
