Genome-wide identification and genetic characterization of the CaMYB family and its response to five types of heavy metal stress in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. CM334)
MYB proteins play a crucial role in plant growth and development and stress responses. In this study, 160 members of the MYB gene family from the pepper genome database were used to analyze gene structures, chromosome localization, collinearity, genetic affinity and expression in response to heavy metals . The results identified R2R3-MYB members and further phylogenetically classified them into 35 subgroups based on highly conserved gene structures and motifs. Collinearity analysis showed that segmental duplication events played a crucial role in the functional expansion of the CaMYB gene family by intraspecific collinearity, and at least 12 pairs of CaMYB genes existed between species prior to the differentiation between monocots and dicots . Moreover, the upstream CaMYB genes were mainly localized to the phytohormone elements ABRE and transcription factor elements MYB and MYC. Further analysis revealed that MYB transcription factors were closely associated with a variety of abiotic stress-related proteins (e.g., MAC-complex and SKIP). Under the stress of five metal ions, Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ , Zn 2+ , and Fe 3+ , the expression levels of some CaMYB family genes were upregulated. Of these genes, pairing homologous 1 ( PH-1 ), PH-13 , and PH-15 in the roots of Capsicum annuum were upregulated to the greatest extent, indicating that these three MYB family members are particularly sensitive to these five metals. This study provides a theoretical reference for the analysis of the molecular regulatory mechanism of MYB family genes in mediating the response to heavy metals in plants. This study reveals the mode of interaction between MYB and a variety of abiotic stress proteins and clarifies the biological functions of CaMYB family members in the regulation of heavy metal stress.
