DUPLICATION AND DIVERSIFICATION OF THE LEAFY HULL STERILE1 AND ORYZA SATIVA MADS5 SEPALLATA LINEAGES IN GRAMINOID POALES

Duplication and diversification of the LEAFY HULL STERILE1 and Oryza sativa MADS5 SEPALLATA lineages in graminoid Poales

Abstract Background Gene duplication and the subsequent divergence in function of the resulting paralogs via subfunctionalization and/or neofunctionalization is hypothesized to have played a major role in the evolution of plant form.The LEAFY HULL STERILE1 (LHS1) SEPALLATA (SEP) genes have been linked with the origin and diversification of the gras
