Rapid functional divergence after small-scale gene duplication in grasses

Rapid functional divergence after small-scale gene duplication in grasses

Abstract Background Gene duplication has played an important role in the evolution and domestication of flowering plants. Yet little is known about how plant duplicate genes evolve and are retained over long timescales, particularly those arising from small-scale duplication (SSD) rather than whole-...
