Key message Overexpression of AgMYB12 in celery improved the accumulation of apigenin by interacting with the AgFNS gene. Celery is a common vegetable, and its essential characteristic is medicine food homology. A natural flavonoid and a major pharmacological component in celery, apigenin plays an important role in human health. In this study, we isolated a novel R2R3-MYB transcription factor that regulates apigenin accumulation from the celery cultivar ‘Jinnan Shiqin’ through yeast one-hybrid screening and designated it as AgMYB12. The AgMYB12 protein was located in the nucleus. It showed transcriptional activation activity and bound specifically to the promoter of AgFNS , a gene involved in apigenin biosynthesis. Phylogenetic tree analysis demonstrated that AgMYB12 belongs to the flavonoid branch. It contains two flavonoid-related motifs, SG7 and SG7-2, and shared a highly conserved R2R3 domain with flavonoid-related MYBs. The homologous overexpression of AgMYB12 induced the up-regulation of AgFNS gene expression and accumulation of apigenin and luteolin in celery. Additionally, the expression levels of apigenin biosynthesis-related genes, including AgPAL , AgCHI , AgCHS , Ag4CL , and AgC4H , increased in transgenic celery plants. These results indicated that AgMYB12 acted as a positive regulator of apigenin biosynthesis and activated the expression of AgFNS gene. The current study provides new information about the regulation mechanism of apigenin metabolism in celery and offers a strategy for cultivating the plants with high apigenin content.
