Abstract:
The MYB transcription factor family can regulate biological processes such as ABA signal transduction to cope with drought stress, but its evolutionary mechanism and the diverse pathways of response to drought stress in different species are rarely reported. In this study, a total of 4791 MYB family members were identified in 908,757 amino acid sequences from 12 model plants or crops using bioinformatics methods. It was observed that the number of MYB family members had a linear relationship with the chromosome ploidy of species. A phylogenetic analysis showed that the MYB family members evolved in subfamily clusters. In response to drought stress, the pathways of MYB transcription factor families exhibited species-specific diversity, with closely related species demonstrating a higher resemblance. This study provides abundant references for drought resistance research and the breeding of wheat, soybean, and other plants.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
