Abstract:The MIXTA family of MYB transcription factors modulate the development of diverse epidermal features in land plants. This study investigates the evolutionary history and function of the MIXTA gene family in the early-diverging eudicot model lineage Thalictrum (Ranunculaceae), with R2R3 SBG9-A MYB transcription factors representative of the pre-core eudicot duplication and thus hereby referred to as “paleoMIXTA” (PMX). Cloning and phylogenetic analysis of Thalictrum paleoMIXTA (ThPMX) orthologs across 23 specie… Show more
