is a large group within the family that consists of diverse plant species distributed in distinct biogeographic realms. Here, we have performed a comprehensive study to understand the evolution of the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeats (NLRs) gene family in . The evolution of gene families in this group is affected by a common whole genome duplication that occurred approximately 58 million years ago, followed by diploidization that often leads to contraction.
