FP24345Genome-wide identification of bHLH gene family and screening of genes related to prickle development in Zanthoxylum armatum
Zanthoxylum armatum (pepper) has important edible and medicinal value, but the existence of prickles of Z. armatum makes the harvesting work complicated. One hundred and ninety-five ZabHLHs were identified in the genome of Z. armatum. We predict that ZabHLH110, ZabHLH161, and ZabHLH194 are most likely related to prickle development in Z. armatum. This study is helpful to further explore the potential role and mechanism of ZabHLHs in the formation of Z. armatum prickles.
