Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is rich in flavonols, which are thought to be highly beneficial for human health. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanism of flavonol biosynthesis in Tartary buckwheat. In this study, we identified and characterized a novel SG7 R2R3-MYB transcription factor in Tartary buckwheat, FtMYB6. We showed thatFtMYB6is located in the nucleus and acts as a transcriptional activator. TheFtMYB6promoter showed strong spatiotemporal specificity and was induced by light. The expression ofFtMYB6showed a significant correlation with rutin accumulation in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Overexpression ofFtMYB6in transgenic Tartary buckwheat hairy roots and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants significantly increased the accumulation of flavonols. In transient luciferase (LUC) activity assay, FtMYB6 promoted the activity ofFtF3HandFtFLS1promoters and inhibited the activity of theFt4CLpromoter. Collectively, our results suggest that FtMYB6 promotes flavonol biosynthesis by activatingFtF3HandFtFLS1expression.
