Research progress of the regulation on active compound biosynthesis by the bHLH transcription factors in plants
Transcription factor is one of the key factors in the regulation of gene expression at the transcriptional level.It plays an important role in plant growth,active components biosynthesis and response to environmental change.This paper summarized the structure and classification of bHLH transcription factors and elaborated the research progress of bHLH transcription factors which regulate the active components in plants,such as flavonoids,alkaloids,and terpenoids.In addition,the possibility of increasing the concentration of active substances by bHLH in medicinal plants was assessed.The paper emphasized great significance of model plants and multidisciplinary research fields including modern genomics,transcriptomics,metabolomics and bioinformatics,providing the contribution to improve the discovery and function characterization of bHLH transcription factors.Accelerating the research in the mechanism of bHLH transcription factors on the regulation of active components biosynthesis will promote the development of breeding and variety improvement of Chinese medicinal materials,also ease the pressure of resources exhaustion of traditional Chinese medicine home and abroad.
