Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) gene family in rye (Secale cereale L.): genome-wide identification, phylogeny, evolutionary expansion and expression analyses.

Study analyzed the bHLH transcription factor family in rye, a hardy crop plant, to understand its role in plant development and stress responses. This knowledge can be useful for improving crop resilience and yield.

Genomic and co-expression network analyses reveal candidate genes for oil accumulation based on an introgression population in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).

Nine QTLs related to oil content in cottonseeds were identified, four of which were novel. Transcript profiling and gene analysis revealed key genes linked to oil biosynthesis. Overexpression of GhHSD1 gene in Arabidopsis increased seed oil by 6.78%, providing potential candidate genes for future research.
