The sweet potato transcription factor IbbHLH33 enhances chilling tolerance in transgenic tobacco
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2022 Chilling is an important abiotic stress in plants. Sweet potato is sensitive to cold damage due to its tropical origin. In this study, we identified a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) gene, IbbHLH33, from our cold-tolerance-related transcriptomic data ...

Evolution of A bHLH Interaction Motif [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions with their associated short linear motifs play key roles in transcriptional regulation. The disordered MYC-interaction motif (MIM) mediates interactions between MYC and MYB transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana that are critical for constitutive and induced glucosinolate (GLS) biosynthesis.

The bHLH network underlying plant shade‐avoidance [PDF]
Physiologia Plantarum, 2020 Shade is a potential threat to many plant species. When shade‐intolerant plants detect neighbours, they elongate their stems and leaves in an effort to maximise their light capture. This developmental programme, known as ‘shade‐avoidance’ is tightly controlled by specialised photoreceptors and a suite of transcriptional regulators. The basic helix–loop–

Automatic annotation of the bHLH gene family in plants
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background The bHLH transcription factor family is named after the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain that is a characteristic element of their members. Understanding the function and characteristics of this family is important for the examination of a
