ABSTRACT
MYB transcription factors (TFs) play an active role in plant responses to abiotic stresses, but they have not been systematically studied in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis). In this study, 181 AcMYB TFs were identified from the kiwifruit genome, unevenly distributed on 29 chromosomes. The high proportion (97.53%) of segmental duplication events (Ka/Ks values less than 1) indicated that AcMYB TFs underwent strong purification selection during evolution. According to the conservative structure, 91 AcR2R3-MYB TFs could be divided into 34 subgroups. A combination of transcriptomic data under drought and high temperature from four AcMYB TFs (AcMYB2, AcMYB60, AcMYB61 and AcMYB102) was screened out in response to stress and involvement in the phenylpropanoid pathway. They were highly correlated with the expression of genes related to lignin biosynthesis. qRT-PCR analysis showed that they were highly correlated with the expression of genes related to lignin biosynthesis in different tissues or under stress, which was consistent with the results of lignin fluorescence detection. The above results laid a foundation for further clarifying the role of MYB in stress.
