Article Abstract
Dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) plays an important role in stress responses, but the transcriptional regulation of DHAR in response to abiotic stress is still poorly understood. In this study, we isolated a novel R2R3-type MYB transcription factor from Pyrus betulaefolia by yeast one-hybrid screening, designated as PbrMYB5. PbrMYB5 was localized in the nucleus and could bind specifically to the promoter of PbrDHAR2. PbrMYB5 was greatly induced by cold and salt but slightly by dehydration. Overexpression of PbrMYB5 in tobacco conferred enhanced tolerance to chilling stresses, whereas down-regulation of PbrMYB5 in P. betulaefolia by virus-induced gene silencing resulted in elevated chilling sensitivity. Transgenic tobacco exhibited higher expression levels of NtDHAR2 and accumulated larger amount of ascorbic acid (AsA) than the wild-type plants. Virus-induced gene silencing of PbrMYB5 in P. betulaefolia down-regulated PbrDHAR2 abundance and decreased AsA level, accompanied by an increased sensitivity to the chilling stress. Taken together, these results demonstrated that PbrMYB5 was an activator of AsA biosynthesis and may play a positive role in chilling tolerance, at least in part, due to the modulation of AsA synthesis by regulating the PbrDHAR2 expression.

Although floral morphology in ornamental chrysanthemums has been widely investigated, its genetic basis in medicinal varieties such as Chrysanthemum morifolium cv. 'Hangju' remains largely unexplored, despite its direct relevance to both capitulum development and medicinal quality. To address this gap, we performed transcriptome profiling of ray and disc florets from wild-type and mutant plants, which led to the identification of two MYB-related transcription factor genes, CmDIV-like and CmRAD1, as differentially expressed and potentially associated with altered floral symmetry.

To explore the role of WRKY transcription factors in resistance, a WRKY15 homologous gene, CsWRKY15, and its promoter were isolated from tea plants when intercropped with chestnut. CsWRKY15 expression was significantly induced by ethephon, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and low temperature. Notably, its expression was strongly induced by exogenous gibberellic acid (GA3).
