Abstract: R2R3 ̄MYB transcription factor plays an important role in plant growth and developmentꎬ stress responseꎬ and
secondary metabolism. In order to explore the temporal and spatial expression pattern of R2R3 ̄MYB transcription factors
in Pseudostellaria heterophylla and screen R2R3 ̄MYB transcription factors involved in the regulation of heterophyllin B
biosynthesisꎬ 15 R2R3 ̄MYB transcription factors were identified from P. heterophylla based on the full ̄length
transcriptome database. Their physicochemical propertiesꎬ conserved motifs and phylogenetic relationships were analyzed
by bioinformatics methodsꎬ and their tissue expression and abscisic acid induced expression patterns were studied by
qRT ̄PCR. The results were as follows: (1) A total of 15 PhR2R3 ̄MYB protein subcells were predicted to locate in cell
nucleusꎬ and most of them were hydrophilic unstable proteins. By constructing phylogenetic tree with Arabidopsis
thaliana R2R3 ̄MYB proteinꎬ PhR2R3 ̄MYB proteins could be divided into eight subgroupsꎬ of which six subgroups can
be clustered with A. thaliana R2R3 ̄MYB transcription factors respectively. ( 2) PhR2R3 ̄MYB gene had tissue
expression specificity in Pseudostellaria heterophyllaꎬ and two of the genesꎬ PhMYB4 and PhMYB8ꎬ were highly
expressed in phloem of tuberous root. Correlation analysis showed that expression of PhMYB4 and PhMYB8 genes were
significantly positively correlated with heterophyllin B content and prePhHB gene expression in P. heterophyllaꎬ
suggesting that PhMYB4 and PhMYB8 might be involved in the regulation of heterophyllin B biosynthesis in P.
heterophylla. (3) PhMYB4 and PhMYB8 genes were differentially expressed in response to ABA treatment for different
time. The expression of PhMYB4 gene decreased firstꎬ then increased and then decreasedꎬ while the expression of
PhMYB8 gene was inhibited with ABA treatmentꎬ indicating that both PhMYB4 and PhMYB8 genes respond to ABA
signal. This study will lay a foundation for further investigation of the function of PhR2R3 ̄MYB genesꎬ and also provides
a theoretical reference for revealing the mechanism of R2R3 ̄MYB transcription factors involved in the regulation of
heterophyllin B biosynthesis.
