“…In other higher plants, a total of 14 (6 AtCAX, 5 AtCCX, 2 AtNCL, and 1 AtMHX), 15 (6 OsCAX, 5 OsCCX, 2 OsNCL, and 2 OsMHX), and 14 (6 ZmCAX, 6 ZmCCX, 1 ZmNCL, and 1 ZmMHX) CaCA protein are reported in Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, respectively (Emery et al, 2012; Singh et al, 2015; Pittman and Hirschi, 2016a). It was earlier established that T. aestivum consisted of higher number of genes in each gene family (Shumayla et al, 2016a,b) due to their large allohexaploid (2n = 6x = 42; AABBDD) nature of genome (Marcussen et al, 2014). Therefore, it was also expected in TaCaCA superfamily.…”
