Abstract:Background: Improvement of low nitrogen (LN) tolerance or nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops is imperative for environment-friendly agriculture development. The basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors are involved in multiple abiotic stress, suitable as the candidate genes for improving LN tolerance. Little research was done on characterization of bHLH gene family and their response to LN stress in barley.Results: In this study, 168 bHLH genes were identified in barley through genome-wide analy… Show more
