Genome-wide identification and characterization of bHLH family genes from Ginkgo biloba.

ABSTRACT: Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins, one of the most important and largest transcription factor family in plants, play important roles in regulating growth and development, stress response. In recent years, many bHLH family genes have been identified and characterized in woody plants. However, a systematic analysis of the bHLH gene family has not been reported in Ginkgo biloba, the oldest relic plant species. In this study, we identifed a total of 85 GbbHLH genes from the genomic and transcriptomic databases of G. biloba, which were classified into 17 subfamilies based on the phylogenetic analysis. Gene structures analysis indicated that the number of exon-intron range in GbbHLHs from 0 to 12. The MEME analysis showed that two conserved motifs, motif 1 and motif 2, distributed in most G
