MYB proteins constitute one of the largest transcription factor families in plants. Plants contain a MYB-protein subfamily that is characterised by the R2R3-type MYB domain. MYB proteins can be classified into three subfamilies depending on the number of adjacent repeats in the MYB domain (one, two or three). We refer to MYB-like proteins with one repeat as "MYB1R factors", with two as "R2R3-type MYB" factors, and with three repeats as "MYB3R" factors. Compared with the R2R3-MYB type, little is known about the complex evolutionary history of MYB-related proteins in plants. we identified 129 MYB-related genes, including JTY(43), LWM(40) and F106(46).
