Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: BpbHLH9
  • Gene Name: bHLH transcription factor 9
  • Genome:
  • Species: Betula platyphylla

Functional Descriptions:

  • Cloning and expression of BpMYC4 and BpbHLH9 genes and the role of BpbHLH9 in triterpenoid synthesis in birch.
  • Our results showed that the modulation of BpbHLH9 by different hormones affected triterpenoid synthesis and triterpenoid contents.
  • In BpbHLH9 transgenic birch, the relative expression of the genes that encodes for enzymes critical for triterpenoid synthesis showed a different level of up-regulation compair with wild birch(control), and the contents of betulinic acid, oleanolic acid and betulin in bHLH9–8 transgenic birch were increased by 11.35%, 88.34% and 23.02% compared to in wild birch, respectively.
  • This is the first report of the cloning of BpbHLH9, and the findings are important for understanding the regulatory role of BpbHLH9 in the synthesis of birch triterpenoids.
