R2R3-MYB Transcription Factor <i>PlMYB108</i> Confers Drought Tolerance in Herbaceous Peony (<i>Paeonia lactiflora</i> Pall.)

The MYB transcription factor (TF) is crucial for plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stress, but it is rarely reported in the herbaceous peony (<i>Paeonia lactiflora</i> Pall.). Here, an MYB TF gene was isolated, and based on our prior mRNA data from <i>P. lactiflora...
