| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused on functional and structural analysis of two members of the beech R2R3-MYB family. FcMYB1603 shows quick induction at exposure to a drought stress and FcMYB3202 is considered to function in regulation of tannin biosynthesis. Expression of FcMYB3202 was induced in the leaves after wounding, and it was also higher in the newly expanding leaves from the axil buds of the wound leaves, suggesting that FcMYB3202 could be epigenetically regulated. Indeed, the methylation status of the promoter DNA was found higher in the second leaves after wounding. We also investigated the geographic variation in nucleotide sequence of FcMYB3202 and FcMYB1603. The variety index of non-synonymous sites per total substitution (NS/total) of the FcMYB3202 in population was higher on the side of Japan Sea (JS) (0.297) than that of Pacific Ocean (PO) (0.243). With regards to FcMYB1603, it was even higher on JS (0.367) than on PO (0.239).
