Genome-Wide Characterization and Analysis of the bHLH Gene Family in Perilla frutescens.

ABSTRACT: Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. is a traditional medicinal and culinary plant with a long history of cultivation and significant potential for broader utilization. The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) gene family is essential for regulating plant growth, development, stress responses, and secondary metabolism. However, the bHLH gene family in P. frutescens has not yet been characterized. In this study, a total of 205 bHLH genes were identified in P. frutescens through genome mining and analysis. Phylogenetic analysis classified these PfbHLH genes into 23 distinct subfamilies. Promoter analysis revealed an enrichment of cis-acting elements linked to plant hormone signaling and stress responses, suggesting their potential regulatory roles in devel
