Evolution of plant RNA polymerase IV/V genes: evidence of subneofunctionalization of duplicated <it>NRPD2/NRPE2</it>-like paralogs in <it>Viola </it>(Violaceae)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>DNA-dependent RNA polymerase IV and V (Pol IV and V) are multi-subunit enzymes occurring in plants. The origin of Pol V, specific to angiosperms, from Pol IV, which is present in all land plants, is linked to the duplication of the g...
