Screening and functional characterization of R2R3-MYB transcription factors regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera).
Anthocyanin biosynthesis is a key process determining flower color in lotus. In this study, 145 MYB transcription factors were identified from the lotus genome, of which 124 belong to the R2R3-MYB subfamily. Based on phylogenetic analysis and short-term light-induced transcriptome data, NnMYB38 and NnMYB114 were select...
