Article Synopsis
  • The bZIP transcription factors are an important family in plants, involved in growth and stress responses, and this study focused on characterizing the CebZIP family through bioinformatics.
  • Researchers identified 70 CebZIP genes distributed across 18 chromosomes, classified into 11 subfamilies with distinct structures and motifs, and noted 19 gene pairs linked through duplication.
  • Analysis of gene expression revealed that under low temperature, these genes were generally up-regulated, although their activation patterns varied, providing insights for future studies on cold resistance in plants.

Breast cancer is a highly harmful malignant tumor, which poses a great threat to women's body and mind, and the mortality rate ranks second among all women's diseases. The incidence rate accounts for 7-10% of various malignant tumors in the whole body, second only to uterine cancer in women, and has become the main cause of threatening women's health. Advanced breast cancer is often considered an incurable disease.

Article Synopsis
  • The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are important proteins found in many organisms that help regulate various biological processes, but they hadn't been comprehensively studied in orchids before this research.
  • In this study, 94 bHLH transcription factors were identified in orchids, divided into 18 subfamilies, with many linked to stress responses and hormone activities.
  • Analysis of gene expression revealed that 84 of these factors were expressed differently in sepals of various colors, suggesting their potential role in flower color through anthocyanin regulation, especially in specific bHLH subfamily genes.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 136 CeMYB transcription factors were identified, categorized into various classes, and organized into 20 phylogenetic clusters, suggesting their diverse biological functions.
  • * Analyses showed that these CeMYBs are mostly located in the nucleus, contain stress-responsive elements, and may play a key role in flower color variation, providing insights for further research on anthocyanin biosynthesis.
