摘要： Trees in the genus Aquilaria produce agarwood, a valuable resin used in medicine, perfumes, and incense. 2-(2Phenethyl)chromones (PECs) are characteristic components of agarwood; however, molecular mechanisms underlying PEC biosynthesis and regulation remain largely unknown. The R2R3-MYB transcription factors play important regulatory roles in the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites. In this study, 101 R2R3-MYB genes in Aquilaria sinensis were systematically identified and analyzed at the genome-wide level. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that 19 R2R3-MYB genes were significantly regulated by an agarwood inducer, and showed significant correlations with PEC accumulation. Expression and evolutionary analyses revealed that AsMYB054, a subgroup 4 R2R3-MYB, was negatively correlated with PEC accumulation. AsMYB054 was located in the nucleus and functioned as a transcriptional repressor. Moreover, AsMYB054 could bind to the promoters of the PEC biosynthesis related genes AsPKS02 and AsPKS09, and inhibit their transcriptional activity. These findings suggested that AsMYB054 functions as a negative regulator of PEC biosynthesis via the inhibition of AsPKS02 and AsPKS09 in A. sinensis. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the R2R3-MYB subfamily in A. sinensis and lay a foundation for further functional analyses of R2R3-MYB genes in PEC biosynthesis.
