Expansion and evolutionary patterns of cysteine-rich peptides in plants

Abstract Background Cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) are gaining recognition as regulators of cell–cell communication in plants. Results We identified 9556 CRPs in 12 plant species and analysed their evolutionary patterns. In most angiosperm plants, whole genome duplication and segmental duplication ar...
