Organization and molecular evolution of a disease-resistance gene cluster in coffee trees
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Most disease-resistance (R) genes in plants encode NBS-LRR proteins and belong to one of the largest and most variable gene families among plant genomes. However, the specific evolutionary routes of NBS-LRR encoding genes remain elus...
