Abstract
Iron is one of the essential mineral micronutrients for plants. Low concentrations of effective iron in soil can easily increase risk of plant iron deficiency. Several members of bHLH transcription factors family participate in the response to iron deficiency and play an important role in iron regulation of plants. In order to better understand the mechanism of iron deficiency response, an overview of the structure, classification, function and regulatory mechanism of bHLH transcription factors was given in this review as well as signaling pathway triggered by iron deficiency. It will provide theoretical basis and design strategies for cultivating iron deficiency tolerant or iron-rich crops using bHLH transcription factors.
