Abstract:START proteins, encoded by a plant amplified family of evolutionary conserved genes, are known to bind lipids/sterols in mammals. In the plant kingdom, they have been reported in proteins involved in lipid binding, transport, signaling, as well as modulation of transcriptional activity, but there is very limited information on sub-functionalization or evolution of new function within the amplified gene family. Availability of ten fully annotated wild and cultivated rice varieties enables a comprehensive analys… Show more
