Divergent evolution of genes in the genus : impacts of annuals and perennials' life history strategies.

Within the family , the genus is composed of two subgenera annuals (2n=40) and perennials. This life strategy transition may have differentially affected the evolution of various gene families. Its cultivated species has high level of susceptibility to major pathogens including viruses, bacteria and fungi.

Investigation of NLR Genes Reveals Divergent Evolution on NLRome in Diploid and Polyploid Species in Genus .

Crop wild relatives contain a greater variety of phenotypic and genotypic diversity compared to their domesticated counterparts. crop species have limited genetic diversity to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses due to artificial selection for consumer preferences. Here, we investigated the distribution and evolution of nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) genes in the genus of with the objective to identify reference NLR genes.
