Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: McMIXTA
• Gene Name: R2R3-MYB transcription factor
• Genome:
• Species: Mentha canadensis

Functional Descriptions:

• Characterisation of the Mentha canadensis R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene McMIXTA and its involvement in peltate glandular trichome development.
• Overexpression of McMIXTA in Mentha piperita L. caused an increase in peltate glandular trichomes density of approximately 25% on the leaf abaxial surface.
• McMIXTA interacted with the glandular trichome development-related transcription factor McHD-Zip3.
• Our results demonstrated that the subgroup 9 R2R3-MYB transcription factor McMIXTA has a positive effect on regulating peltate glandular trichome development and the MIXTA/HD-ZIP IV complexes might be conserved regulators for glandular trichome initiation.
