While searching for transcriptional regulators that respond to changes in light regimes, we identified a MYB domain-containing protein, MYB2, that accumulates under dark and other conditions in the unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae. The isolation and analysis of a MYB2 mutant revealed that MYB2 represses the expression of the nuclear-encoded chloroplast RNA polymerase sigma factor gene SIG2, which results in the repression of the chloroplast-encoded phycobilisome genes that are under its control. Since nuclear-encoded phycobilisome and other light-harvesting protein genes are also repressed by MYB2, we conclude that MYB2 has a role in repressing the expression of light-harvesting genes. The MYB2 mutant is sensitive to a prolonged dark incubation, indicating the importance of MYB2 for cell viability in the dark.

is an important medicinal plant, rich in flavonoid, with various pharmacological activities such as stomachic and antioxidant properties. In this study, we integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses to reveal metabolite and gene expression profiles of both green (GDd) and purple-red (RDd) of semi-annual and annual stems. A total of 244 flavonoid metabolites, mainly flavones and flavonols, were identified and annotated.

MpMYB02, a regulator of marchantin accumulation, also acts as a key regulator of oil body formation. MpMYB02 induces the expression of MpSYP12B and promotes oil body formation, subsequently leading to marchantin accumulation. The oil body observed in Marchantia polymorpha is a cellular organelle surrounded by a unit membrane, accumulating various secondary metabolites such as marchantins and terpenes.

Background: Theobroma cacao, the cocoa tree, is a tropical crop grown for its highly valuable cocoa solids and fat which are the basis of a 200-billion-dollar annual chocolate industry. However, the long generation time and difficulties associated with breeding a tropical tree crop have limited the progress of breeders to develop high-yielding disease-resistant varieties. Development of marker-assisted breeding methods for cacao requires discovery of genomic regions and specific alleles of genes encoding important traits of interest.

AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 7 (ARF7)-mediated auxin signaling plays a key role in lateral root (LR) development by regulating downstream LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) transcription factor genes, including LBD16, LBD18, and LBD29. LBD proteins are believed to regulate the transcription of downstream genes as homodimers or heterodimers. However, whether LBD29 forms dimers with other proteins to regulate LR development remains unknown.
