New reference genome sequences of hot pepper reveal the massive evolution of plant disease-resistance genes by retroduplication
New reference genome sequences of hot pepper reveal the massive evolution of plant disease-resistance genes by retroduplication
Transposable elements are major evolutionary forces which can cause new genome structure and species diversification. The role of transposable elements in the expansion of nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich-repeat proteins (NLRs), the major disease-resistance gene families, has been unexplored in plants.
