Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2021The epidermal transcription factors MIXTA/MIXTA-like modulate the differentiation of distinct cell identities in the epidermis of land plants. This study explored the evolutionary history and function of the MIXTA-like gene family in the early-diverging eudicot model Thalictrum. Phylogenetic analysis of the gene family revealed a lineage-specific duplication event that coincides with a Whole Genome Duplication (WGD) in the genus. In addition, T. thalictroides MIXTA-like gene was functionally characterized via targeted gene silencing, and a transcriptome analysis conducted to identify candidate targets. We found that TthMYBML2 modulates leaf trichome morphogenesis through a microtubule-associa...
