Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional repression by AtMYB4 controls production of UV-protecting sunscreens in Arabidopsis.
Hailing Jin,Eleonora Cominelli,Paul Bailey,Adrian J. Parr,Frank Mehrtens,Jonathon Jones,Chiara Tonelli,Bernd Weisshaar,Cathie Martin +8 more
TL;DR: An Arabidopsis thaliana line that is mutant for the R2R3 MYB gene, AtMYB4, shows enhanced levels of sinapate esters in its leaves, indicating that derepression is an important mechanism for acclimation to UV‐B in A.thaliana.
Journal ArticleDOI
A guard-cell-specific MYB transcription factor regulates stomatal movements and plant drought tolerance.
Eleonora Cominelli,Massimo Galbiati,Alain Vavasseur,Lucio Conti,T. Sala,Marnik Vuylsteke,Nathalie Leonhardt,Stephen L. Dellaporta,Chiara Tonelli +8 more
TL;DR: The characterization of AtMYB60, a R2R3-MYB gene of Arabidopsis, is reported as the first transcription factor involved in the regulation of stomatal movements and opens new possibilities to engineeringStomatal activity to help plants survive desiccation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression analysis of anthocyanin regulatory genes in response to different light qualities in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Eleonora Cominelli,Giuliana Gusmaroli,D. Allegra,Massimo Galbiati,Helena K. Wade,Gareth I. Jenkins,Chiara Tonelli +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that specific members of the MYB and bHLH families play important roles in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in response to different light qualities in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Over-expression of the Arabidopsis AtMYB41 gene alters cell expansion and leaf surface permeability.
TL;DR: The results suggest that AtMYB41 is part of a complex network of transcription factors controlling cell expansion and cuticle deposition in response to abiotic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Function Search in a Large Transcription Factor Gene Family in Arabidopsis: Assessing the Potential of Reverse Genetics to Identify Insertional Mutations in R2R3 MYB Genes

Kranz,Steven Penfield,Katia Petroni,Ana Urzainqui,Cathie Martin,Javier Paz-Ares,Sjef Smeekens,Chiara Tonelli,Bernd Weisshaar,Elvira Baumann,Victor Klimyuk,Sylvestre Marillonnet,Kanu Patel,Elly Speulman,Alain Tissier,David Bouchez,Jonathan J. D. Jones,Andy Pereira,Ellen Wisman,Michael W. Bevan +25 more
TL;DR: The isolation of 47 insertions into 36 distinct MYB genes by screening a total of 73 genes is reported, providing the foundation for subsequent detailed functional analyses for the assignment of specific functions to individual members of the R2R3 MYB gene family.
