Genome-wide analysis of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor family in maize

Abstract: BackgroundIn plants, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play key roles in diverse biological processes. Genome-wide comprehensive and systematic analyses of bHLH proteins have been well conducted in Arabidopsis, rice, tomato and other plant species. However, only few of bHLH family genes have been functional characterized in maize.ResultsIn this study, our genome-wide analysis identified 208 putative bHLH family proteins (ZmbHLH proteins) in maize (Zea mays). We classified these proteins i… Show more

“…Patterns f, a and k are the three types accounting for the majority of BnbHLHs (41.2%, 26.2% and 20.1% respectively). This trend is similar to the results in other species, such as Arabidopsis, rice, potato, poplar and tomato [8][9][10][11]13].…”

“…As an important plant transcription factor super gene family, genome-wide analysis of bHLHs has already been widely performed in a mass of species [7][8][9][10]. However, we find that there is still lacking a uniform subfamily classification of this gene family in plants, resulting in many sorts of classification.…”
