MYC2/3/4, known as a basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor, directly activate the genes involved in diverse plant development and secondary metabolites biosynthesis. In this study, we identified and cloned five MYC paralogs ( BrMYC2 / 3-1 / 3-2 / 4-1 / 4-2 ) from Chinese cabbage ( Brass...
