As the second largest transcription factor family in plant, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family, characterized by the conserved bHLH domain, plays a central regulatory role in many biological process. However, the bHLH transcription factor family of strawberry has not been systematically identified, especially for the anthocyanin biosynthesis. Here, we identified a total of 113 bHLH transcription factors and described their chromosomal distribution and bioinformatics for the diploid woodland strawberry  Fragaria vesca . In addition, transcription profiles of 113 orthologous bHLH genes from various tissues were analyzed for the cultivar ‘Benihoppe’, its white-flesh mutant ‘Xiaobai’, and the ‘Snow Princess’ from their fruit development to the ripening, as well as those under either the ABA or Eth treatment. Both the RT-PCR and qRT-PCR results show that seven selected  FabHLH  genes ( FabHLH17 ,  FabHLH25 ,  FabHLH27 ,  FabHLH29 ,  FabHLH40 ,  FabHLH80 ,  FabHLH98 ) are responsive to the fruit anthocyanin biosynthesis and hormone signaling according to transcript profiles where three color modes are observed for strawberry’s fruit skin and flesh. Further, prediction for the protein interaction network reveals that four bHLHs ( FabHLH25 ,  FabHLH29 ,  FabHLH80 ,  FabHLH98 ) are involved in the fruit anthocyanin biosynthesis and hormone signaling transduction. These bioinformatics and expression profiles provide a good basis for a further investigation of strawberry bHLH genes.
