Genome-wide identification and characterization of R2R3MYB family in Cucumis sativus.
<h4>Background</h4>The R2R3MYB proteins comprise one of the largest families of transcription factors in plants. Although genome-wide analysis of this family has been carried out in some species, little is known about R2R3MYB genes in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).<h4>Principal fin...
