Genome-Wide Identification of the bHLH Gene Family in <i>Rhododendron delavayi</i> and Its Expression Analysis in Different Floral Tissues.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The bHLH genes play a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, there is currently limited research on bHLH genes in the important horticultural plant Rhododendron delavayi Franch.

Methods

In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide identification and in-depth analysis of the bHLH gene family in R. delavayi using bioinformatics approaches.

Results

A total of 145 bHLH family members were identified, encoding proteins ranging from 98 to 3300 amino acids in length, with molecular weights ranging from 11.44 to 370.51 kDa and isoelectric points ranging from 4.22 to 10.80. These 145 bHLH genes were unevenly distributed across 13 chromosomes, with three bHLH genes located on contig 52. Chromosome 8 containe
