Full-length cDNA, transcript variant, and genomic DNA sequences of bHLH144-like gene were cloned from mulberry.
Fold-Index analysis predicted MabHLH144-like gene is highly disordered protein.
Differential expression of variants in different tissue types and under abiotic stresses noticed.
miRNA binding analysis revealed the absence of a target site in one the transcript variants.
This is the first report on cloning and characterization of transcript variant of bHLH144-like gene from mulberry.
