R2R3-MYB protein is the most abundant class of MYB transcription factor family in plants. The transcript profiles of two E4 races of Melampsora larici-populina-tolerant poplars and an intolerant poplar were investigated to characterise the role of the R2R3-MYB family genes in the poplar-E4 interaction. In this study, 217 R2R3-MYBs were identified, and 83 R2R3-MYB genes were assigned to 22 different coexpression modules by weighted gene coexpression network analysis. Most R2R3-MYB genes were unchanged in the early period of E4 infection in both tolerant and intolerant poplars. However, there were obvious increases in differentially expressed R2R3-MYB genes in tolerant poplars at 2 and 4 dpi when defence responses occurred, suggesting that differently expressed R2R3-MYB genes at these time points may play an important role in poplar resistance to E4 infection. In total, 34 R2R3-MYB genes showed differential expression at 2 and 4 dpi between tolerant and intolerant poplars. Among them, 16 differentially expressed R2R3-MYB genes were related to 43 defence-related genes that had significant differences between tolerant and intolerant poplars. There might be coregulatory relationships between R2R3-MYBs and other TFs during poplar-E4 interaction. Some differentially expressed R2R3-MYB genes were related to genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis and IAA or free SA signal transduction and might help activate defence response during poplar-E4 interaction. MYB194 could be an important node in the convergence of IAA and SA signalling.
