Comparative analysis of the phytocyanin gene family in 10 plant species: a focus on Zea mays
Phytocyanins (PCs) are plant-specific blue copper proteins, which play essential roles in electron transport. While the origin and expansion of this gene family is not well investigated in plants. Here, we investigated their evolution by undertaking a genome-wide identification and comparison in 10...
