Isolation and molecular characterization of a subgroup 7 transcription factor gene.

We isolated an ortholog () of the Arabidopsis R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF) gene from to investigate the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis, which is driven by many paralogous genes in . We characterized the spatial and temporal expression of in leaves, stems, roots, flowers, immature seeds, seedling leaves, and seedling roots. Expression was much higher in flowers than in other tissues.
