Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Unigene44371_All
• Gene Symbol: HtMYB2
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Helianthus tuberosus

Functional Descriptions:

• HtMYB2 (Unigene44371_All) was the only MYB transcription factor, homologous to the MYB transcription factor regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis, expressed in the red tuber epidermis of ‘QY1’.
• Overexpression of HtMYB2 activated the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway, accumulating the pigment in leaves of transgenic tobacco, supporting the model that HtMYB2 regulated anthocyanin biosynthesis.
• The genetic variation in HtMYB2 was associated with the tuber skin color in a natural population.
• HtMYB2 can regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants and is closely related to the formation of purple phenotype in tubers.
