Identification and distribution of the NBS-LRR gene family in the Cassava genome
Plant resistance genes exist usually contain both a nucleotide-binding site domain and a leucine-rich repeat domain (NBS-LRR)
Abstract
This study provides insight into the evolution of NBS-LRR genes in the cassava genome; the phylogenetic and mapping information may aid efforts to further characterize the function of these predicted R genes.
This work is part of the “Next Generation Cassava Breeding Project” which is supported by the UK Department for International Development, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
