Leguminous plants have many paralogous genes encoding enzymes involved in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. Duplicate genes are predicted to contribute to the production of various flavonoid compounds and to have resulted in a diversity of legume species. We identified gene duplication in the transcription factors regulating flavonoid biosynthesis in the model legume Lotus japonicus. Three copies of a homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana TRANSPARENT TESTA2 (TT2), which is a MYB transcription…

Overexpression of the LoMYB29 gene of Larix olgensis contributes to the regulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
TLDR
Cloned a R2R3 MYB gene LoMYB29 plays a positive role in the regulation of PA biosynthesis by activating the expression ofPA biosynthetic genes.
Characterization of two TT2-type MYB transcription factors regulating proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in tetraploid cotton, Gossypium hirsutum
TLDR
Two TT2-type MYB transcription factors identified from tetraploid cotton are involved in regulating proanthocyanidin biosynthesis, providing new strategies for engineering condensed tannins in crops.
Comparative analysis of the triplicate proathocyanidin regulators in Lotus japonicus.
TLDR
In this study, in-depth characterization of chimeric constructs of three LjTT2s, as well as site-directed mutagenesis in R2-MYB domains, identified the amino acid residues that affect the level of transcriptional activation of Lj TT2.
Ectopic Expression of the Coleus R2R3 MYB-Type Proanthocyanidin Regulator Gene SsMYB3 Alters the Flower Color in Transgenic Tobacco
TLDR
The findings suggest that SsMYB3 is involved in the regulation of PA biosynthesis in coleus and has the potential as a molecular tool for manipulating biosynthesis of PAs in fruits and other crops using metabolic engineering.
The R2R3-MYB TT2b and the bHLH TT8 genes are the major regulators of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in the leaves of Lotus species
TLDR
This study unveils a different involvement of the three Lotus TT2 paralogs to the PA trait and highlights differences in the regulation of this trait in the authors' Lotus genotypes with respect to model species.
Functional diversification of grapevine MYB5a and MYB5b in the control of flavonoid biosynthesis in a petunia anthocyanin regulatory mutant.
Flavonoids play a key role in grapevine physiology and also contribute substantially to the quality of berries and wines. VvMYB5a and VvMYB5b are R2R3-MYB transcription factors previously proposed to…
Tc-MYBPA an Arabidopsis TT2-like transcription factor and functions in the regulation of proanthocyanidin synthesis in Theobroma cacao
TLDR
The Tc-MYBPA gene that encodes an R2R3 type MYB transcription factor is an Arabidopsis TT2 like transcription factor, and may be involved in the regulation of both anthocyanin and PA synthesis in cacao.
R2R3-MYB transcription factor MYB6 promotes anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis but inhibits secondary cell wall formation in Populus tomentosa.
TLDR
An insight is provided into the transcriptional mechanisms involved in the regulation of the metabolic fluxes between the flavonoid and lignin biosynthetic pathways in poplar and Arabidopsis.
Analysis of the grape MYB R2R3 subfamily reveals expanded wine quality-related clades and conserved gene structure organization across Vitis and Arabidopsis genomes
TLDR
This genome wide transcription factor analysis in Vitis suggests that clade-specific grape R2R3 MYB genes are expanded while other MyB genes could be well conserved compared to Arabidopsis, suggesting that expanded MYB clades conferring quality attributes of grapes and wines, such as colour and astringency, could possess redundant, overlapping and cooperative functions.
The transcription factor MYB115 contributes to the regulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis and enhances fungal resistance in poplar.
TLDR
Overexpression of MYB115 in poplar activated expression of PA biosynthetic genes, resulting in a significant increase in PA concentrations, whereas the CRISPR/Cas9-generated myb115 mutant exhibited greater sensitivity compared with wild-type plants.

The Arabidopsis TT2 Gene Encodes an R2R3 MYB Domain Protein That Acts as a Key Determinant for Proanthocyanidin Accumulation in Developing Seed
TLDR
The results strongly suggest that stringent spatial and temporal BAN expression, and thus proanthocyanidin accumulation, are determined at least partially by TT2.

TLDR
It is concluded that specific members of the MYB-relatedc1/pl1 gene family play important roles in the regulation of anthocyanin synthesis in maize in response to different light qualities and cytokinin.
Analysis of bHLH and MYB domain proteins: species-specific regulatory differences are caused by divergent evolution of target anthocyanin genes.
TLDR
The isolation of a P. hybrida gene, jaf13, encoding a basic helix-loop-helix protein, indicates that regulatory anthocyanin genes are conserved between species and that divergent evolution of the target gene promoters is responsible for the species-specific differences in regulatory networks.

The phylogenetic tree, constructed with known DFR sequences, showed evolutionary divergence of some of the DFR genes prior to the plant speciation and affords the basis for genetic and biochemical studies on the diversity of DFR and the flavonoid products.

This study provides direct evidence that the same subclass of transcription factors can mediate the expression of the structural genes of both branches of PA biosynthesis, and that the steady-state levels of ANR and LAR1 genes correlate with the levels of PAs in leaves of wild-type and transgenic plants.
