Four R2R3-MYB subgroup 13 transcription factors regulate silique dehiscence and secondary cell wall synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Silique dehiscence is an important agronomic trait in oilseed Brassicaceae crops, including canola, mustard, and camelina, yet its molecular regulation remains incompletely understood. Here, we show that four R2R3-MYB subgroup 13 transcription factors-MYB55, MYB61, MYB50, and MYB86-function redundantly to regulate sili...
