Abstract

Myelocytomatosis (MYC) transcription factors play a core regulator in the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, which regulates the secondary laticifer differentiation and rubber biosynthesis in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). However, there are currently no reports on the MYC gene family in rubber trees, an important industrial raw material crop worldwide. In the present study, 32 HblMYCs were isolated and identified. The diversity in gene structure and presence of various cis-regulatory elements in promotors suggest that HblMYCs participate in various biological processes. Based on the expression patterns in the cambium region and laticifer in, respectively, response to coronatine (COR) and tapping, and the phylogenetic relationship with the MYCs that have been functionally identified in other plants, the HblMYC24 and HblMYC30 may be related to laticifer differentiation while the HblMYC6, HblMYC11 and HblMYC15, as well as HblMYC16 and HblMYC21, may positively regulate rubber biosynthesis. The results provide a foundation for understanding the molecular mechanism of jasmonate signaling in regulating laticifer differentiation and rubber biosynthesis in rubber tree.
