Molecular Evolution and Functional Divergence of Soluble Starch Synthase Genes in Cassava ( Crantz)

Soluble starch synthases (SSs) are major enzymes involved in starch biosynthesis in plants. Cassava starch has many remarkable characteristics, which should be influenced by the evolution of SS genes in this starchy root crop. In this work, we performed a comprehensive phylogenetic and evolutionary...
