Divergence and evolution of cotton bHLH proteins from diploid to allotetraploid

Abstract Background Polyploidy is considered a major driving force in genome expansion, yielding duplicated genes whose expression may be conserved or divergence as a consequence of polyploidization. Results We compared the genome sequences of tetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and its two diplo...
