Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MeMYB2
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Manihot esculenta, v6.1
• Species: Manihot esculenta

Functional Descriptions:

• MeMYB2 bound to the MeTT8 promoter and blocked its expression under both normal and chilling conditions, thereby inhibiting anthocyanin accumulation.
• Down-regulation of MeMYB2 leads to anthocyanin accumulation and increases chilling tolerance in cassava.
• We previously generated MeMYB2-RNAi transgenic cassava with increased chilling tolerance. Here we report that MeMYB2-RNAi transgenic cassava accumulated less ROS but more cyanidin-3-O-glucoside than the wild type under early chilling stress.
• MeMYB2 appears to act as an inhibitor of chilling-induced anthocyanin accumulation during the rapid response of cassava to chilling stress.
