Comparative genomics revealed the gene evolution and functional divergence of magnesium transporter families in Saccharum

Abstract Background Sugarcane served as the model plant for discovery of the C4 photosynthetic pathway. Magnesium is the central atom of chlorophyll, and thus is considered as a critical nutrient for plant development and photosynthesis. In plants, the magnesium transporter (MGT) family is composed...
