Eins in subclade IIIf from A. thaliana on the phylogenetic tree (Additional file three: Fig. S1). GmbHLH327, 329, 331, 334, 337, and 345 were newly assigned to subclade IVa based on Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) search benefits. Ultimately, we identified 34 G. max subclade IVa bHLHs ranging in peptide length from 195 to 390 aa (Extra file 1: Table S1). We collected sequences of all bHLH proteins from 40 plant species which includes A. thaliana, C. roseus, C. quinoa and several fabids (Extra file 1: Table S2). These proteins have been utilized as queries for BLAST searches against the four and 34 subclade IVa bHLHs identified in a. thaliana and G. max, and we thereby identified the subclade IVa members in every plant species (Additional file 2). Fabaceae ATM custom synthesis plants possessed 61 to 355 bHLHs and four to 35 subclade IVa members, whilst species outside of Fabaceae had 94 to 250 bHLHs and two to 8 subclade IVa members (Table 1).
