Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of MYB Transcription Factors Involved in Lignin Biosynthesis in Elephant Grass (<i>Cenchrus purpureus</i>) by Qizhe Wang, Mengying Ruan, Fuqiang Li, Zhe Ma, Dong Luo

“…Transcriptome analysis identified 48 <i>CpMYB</i> genes differentially expressed in internodes at least one of three developmental stages, with promoters containing various growth-, phytohormone-, and stress-related cis-elements. Additionally, nine <i>CpMYB</i> genes were consistently differentially expressed across all three stages, and predicted protein–DNA interaction suggested that four of them (CpMYB094, CpMYB131, CpMYB145, and CpMYB148) potentially regulate key lignin biosynthetic genes, including <i>4-coumarate:CoA ligase 1</i> (<i>4CL1</i>), <i>hydroxycinnamoyl transferase</i> (<i>HCT</i>), <i>caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase 1/7</i> (<i>CCoAOMT1/7</i>), and <i>reduced epidermal fluorescence 3</i> (<i>REF3</i>). …”
