The functional divergence of homologous GPAT9 genes contributes to the erucic acid content of Brassica napus seeds
Abstract Background The early allopolyploid Brassica napus was a hybrid of two Brassica species, that had undergone a whole genome duplication event followed by genome restructuring, including deletions and small scale duplications. A large number of homologous genes appeared functional divergence d...
