In addition to their roles in developmental and metabolic processes, MYB transcription factors play crucial roles in plant defense mechanisms and stress responses. A comprehensive analysis of six pearl millet genomes revealed the presence of 1133 MYB genes, which can be classified into four phylogenetically distinct subgroups. The duplication pattern of MYB genes across the pearl millet genomes demonstrates their conserved and similar evolutionary history. Overall, MYB genes were observed to be involved in drought and heat stress responses, with stronger differential expressed observed in root tissues. Multiple analyses indicated that MYB genes mediate abiotic stress responses by modulating abscisic acid-related pathways, circadian rhythms, and histone modification processes. A substantial number of duplicated genes were determined to exhibit differential expression under abiotic stress. The consistent positive expression trend observed in duplicated gene pairs, such as PMA5G04432.1 and PMA2G00728.1, across various abiotic stresses suggests that duplicated MYB genes plays a key role in the evolution of adaptive responses of pearl millet to abiotic stresses.

The gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the germline PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway components within the gonads of metazoan species remain largely unexplored. In contrast to the male germline piRNA pathway, which in mice is known to be activated by the testis-specific transcription factor A-MYB, the nature of the ovary-specific gene-regulatory network driving the female germline piRNA pathway remains a mystery. Here, using as a model, we combined multiple genomics approaches to reveal the transcription factor Ovo as regulator of the germline piRNA pathway in ovarian germ cells.

Previous data show that the knockdown of the gene in the MDA-MB-231 cell line leads to the downregulation of gene expression. In addition, and genes are co-expressed and dysregulated in some of the same triple negative breast cancer patient samples. We propose that the co-expression of the two genes is attributed to the MYBL1 transcription factor regulation of the gene.

Color variation in plant leaves has a significant impact on their photosynthesis and plant growth. yellow-leaf mutants are ideal materials for studying the mechanisms of pigment synthesis and photosynthesis, but their mechanism of leaf variation is not clear. We systematically elucidated the intrinsic causes of leaf yellowing in the new variety 'Diecui Liuji' in terms of changes in its cell structure, pigment content, and transcript levels.

The WRKY70 transcription factor (TF) was reported to play an important role in the salt stress response mechanism of in our previous research, and we also produced several overexpression (OEXs) and RNAi suppression (REXs) × lines. In order to further compare the photosynthetic and physiological characteristics of NT (non-transgenic line) and transgenic lines under salt stress, the dynamic phenotypic change, Na and K content in leaf and root tissues, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, chlorophyll content (Chl), photosynthesis parameters (net photosynthetic rate, P; stomatal conductance, Gs; intercellular CO concentration, C; transpiration rate, T), chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (electron transport rate, ETR; maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII), F/F; actual efficiency of PSII, Φ; photochemical quenching coefficient, q; non-photochemical quenching, NPQ; the photosynthetic light-response curves of Φ and ETR) and RNA-seq of NT, OEX and REX lines were detected and analyzed. The phenotypic observation, MDA content and Chl detection results indicate that the stress damage of REXs was less severe than that of NT and OEX lines under salt stress.
