Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of Nine Resurrection Plant Species: Conserved Regulation Versus Structural Paralog Capacity in Desiccation Tolerance
Background/Objectives: Vegetative desiccation tolerance (VDT) has arisen independently in numerous angiosperm lineages, yet it remains unclear which of its molecular features are genuinely conserved beyond individual lineages. Methods: We compiled and compared available genome assemblies and de novo transcriptomes for...
