Research Status of R2R3-MYB Transcription Factors in Horticultural Plants
R2R3-MYB(2R-MYB)is the largest MYB subfamily,which plays an important role in plant growth and regulation of unique physiological processes.Its members are widely involved in the growth and development of horticultural plants,synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites,stress response and hormone signaling.At pre-sent,the R2R3-MYB gene family has been identified and analyzed at the whole genome level in more than 70 plant species.Base on this,this study summarizes the gene structure characteristics of R2R3-MYB transcription factor family members,and discusses their functional roles in the process of variety innovation and quality improvement of horticultural plant,focusing on the regulatory role of R2R3-MYB members in the synthesis of secondary metabo-lites in more than 30 horticultural plants.The result are expected to elucidate the evolutionary and functional diversi-ty mechanisms of the R2R3-MYB gene family,and provide important references for the molecular mechanisms reg-ulating the synthesis of specific metabolites in plants.
