Molecular evolution of genes encoding allergen proteins in the peanuts genus Arachis: Structural and functional implications.

Molecular evolution of genes encoding allergen proteins in the peanuts genus Arachis: Structural and functional implications.

Food allergies are severe immune responses to plant and animal products mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are among the top 15 crops that feed the world. However, peanuts is among the "big eight food allergens", and allergies induced by peanuts are a signifi...
