Abstract

MYB transcription factors constitute one of the largest gene families in plants and play essential roles in the regulation of plant growth, responses to stress, and a wide variety of physiological and biochemical processes. In this study, 204 MYB proteins (HhMYBs) were identified in the Hibiscus hamabo Sieb. et Zucc (H. hamabo) genome and systematically analyzed based on their genomic sequence and transcriptomic data. The candidate HhMYB proteins and MYBs of Arabidopsis thaliana were divided into 28 subfamilies based on the analysis of their phylogenetic relationships and their motif patterns. Expression analysis using RNA-seq and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) indicated that most HhMYBs are differentially regulated under drought and salt stresses. qRT-PCR analysis of seven selected HhMYBs suggested that the HhMYB family may have regulatory roles in the responses to stress and hormones. This study provides a framework for a more comprehensive analysis of the role of MYBs in the response to abiotic stress in H. hamabo.
