MYB transcription-factor families in plants
Rice and Arabidopsis encode large MYB families dominated by R2R3 types with distinct expression patterns.
Source
Genome-wide classification and expression analysis of MYB transcription factor families in rice and Arabidopsis
What they did
Identified/classified MYB genes genome-wide and analyzed structures plus expression.
What they found
155 rice and 197 Arabidopsis MYB genes; R2R3 is the largest subclass.
The limits
What it doesn't show
Classification is sequence-based; not every gene’s phenotype is functionally validated here.
