However, less is known about their functions in the economically important allopolyploid oil crop, Brassica napus . Results : We identified 602 potential bHLHs in B. napus genome ( BnbHLHs ) and categorized them into 36 subfamilies, including seven newly separated subfamilies, based on phylogeny, protein structure and exon-intron organization analysi… Show more
