Abstract excerpt
Proanthocyanidins (PAs), which are flavonoid compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom, protect against environmental stress. The accumulation of PAs is regulated by a ternary transcriptional complex comprising the R2R3-MYB transcription factor, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor and a WD40 repeat (WDR) protein. Recently, multigene families of the R2R3-MYB-type PA regulators from Lotus...
