Wenjun Wu, Xiran Zhang, Liwei Zhang, Gaopeng Wang, Xiang Liu

TL;DR
This study identifies and analyzes MYB transcription factors in daylily plants to understand their role in seawater tolerance, offering insights for developing salt-resistant varieties.
Contribution
The study reports the first identification of 33 MYB transcription factors in daylily roots under seawater stress and identifies HfMYB10 as a key candidate for enhancing seawater tolerance.
Findings
33 MYB transcription factors were identified in daylily roots under seawater stress.
HfMYB10 was identified as a key candidate gene through integrated analysis of phylogeny, motif structure, and expression profiles.
Heterologous expression of HfMYB10 in Arabidopsis improved seawater tolerance in transgenic lines.
Abstract
The MYB transcription factor family, one of the largest in plants, plays a crucial role in responding to abiotic stress responses. Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva L.) is a salt-tolerant plant ideal for coastal landscaping. In this study, we identified 33 MYB transcription factors from the ‘Autumn Red’ daylily roots under seawater stress, a discovery reported here for the first time. Chromosome mapping revealed an uneven distribution of these genes, with numerous segmental and tandem repeats. Phylogenetic analysis with Arabidopsis and rice MYBs classified the daylily MYBs into six subfamilies, which were further divided into five subclasses based on conserved domains. Expression profiling across different seawater treatment periods revealed distinct H, L, and M expression patterns. Through an integrated analysis of phylogeny, motif structure, and expression profiles, we identified HfMYB10 as…
