Abstract

Chenopodium quinoa is a plant rich in a variety of nutrients, with strong resistance to cold, drought, salt, and barren conditions. BHLH transcription factors are one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, and they have a basic/helix-loop-helix structure. BHLH transcription factors are involved in the regulation of plant growth and development and play a role in stress resistance. Besides, the bHLH family also participates in various signal transduction and anabolic processes, such as light signal transduction and hormone synthesis. In view of the important roles of the bHLH family in plant growth, development, anabolism, signaling, and resistance to stress, the Chenopodium quinoa bHLH (CqbHLH) family was identified in the genome by using bioinformatics methods. Moreover, the structure, chromosomal assignment, replication, and collinearity of all CqbHLH genes were analyzed. The results of this study have laid the foundation for identifying CqbHLH genes that play a key role in the regulation of plant growth and development and in stress resistance.
