This event is trigged by a series of signals produced inside guard cells which finally reduce their turgor. Many of these events are tightly regulated at the transcriptional level including the control exerted by MYB proteins. In a previous study while identifying the grapevine R2R3 MYB family two closely related genes VvMYB30 and VvMYB60 were found with high similarity to AtMYBổỡ an Arabidopsis guard cell-related drought responsive gene. Results Promoter-GUS transcriptional fusion assays showed that expression of VvMYB60 was restricted to stomatal guard cells and was attenuated in response to ABA. Unlike VvMYB30 VvMYB60 was able to complement the loss-of-function atmyb60-1 mutant indicating that VvMYB60 is the only true ortholog of AtMYB60 in the grape genome. In addition VvMYB60 was differentially regulated during development of grape organs and in response to ABA and drought-related stress conditions. Conclusions These results show that VvMYB60 modulates
