Genome-wide identification of bHLH transcription factors and their response to salt stress in Cyclocarya paliurus.

ABSTRACT: As a highly valued and multiple function tree species, the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus are enriched in diverse bioactive substances with healthy function. To meet the requirement for its leaf production and medical use, the land with salt stress would be a potential resource for developing C. paliurus plantations due to the limitation of land resources in China. The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor protein family, the second largest protein family in plants, has been found to play essential roles in the response to multiple abiotic stresses, especially salt stress. However, the bHLH gene family in C.paliurus has not been investigated. In this study, 159 CpbHLH genes were successfully identified from the whole-genome sequence data, and
