Abstract

MYB transcription factors hold vital roles in the regulation of plant secondary metabolic pathways. Laticifers in rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are of primary importance in natural rubber production because natural rubber is formed and stored within these structures. To understand the role of MYB transcription factors in the specialized cells, we identified 44 MYB genes (named HblMYB1 to HblMYB44) by using our previously obtained transcriptome database of rubber tree laticifer cells and the public rubber tree genome database. Expression profiles showed that five MYB genes were highly expressed in the laticifers. HblMYB19 and HblMYB44 were selected for further study. HblMYB19 and HblMYB44 bound the promoters of HbFDPS1, HbSRPP, and HRT1 in yeast. Furthermore, the transient overexpression of HblMYB19 and HblMYB44 in tobacco plants significantly increased the activity of the promoters of HbFDPS1, HbSRPP, and HRT1. Basing on this information, we proposed that HblMYB19 and HblMYB44 are the regulators of HbFDPS1, HbSRPP, and HRT1, which are involved in the biosynthesis pathway of natural rubber.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 December 2017.
All research outputs
#20,453,782
of 23,009,818 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#16,393
of 20,507 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#283,174
of 324,977 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#367
of 434 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,009,818 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,507 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,977 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 434 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
