Os10g0544200

The rice Os10g0544200 was reported as OsbHLH004 in 2006 by researchers from the China. It is a member of bHLH transcription factor gene family.

Annotated Information

Function

• The basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors and their homologs form a large family in plant and animal genomes.
• rice bHLH proteins can potentially participate in a variety of combinatorial interactions, endowing them with the capacity to regulate a multitude of transcriptional programs.

Expression

• Similar expression patterns suggest functional conservation between some rice bHLH genes and their close Arabidopsis homologs.

Evolution

• The studies of researchers indicate that the ancient bHLH gene family has likely expanded considerably during flowering plant evolution to include many relatively young members, allowing both the conservation and divergence of gene function.
