Ancient and recent gene duplications as evolutionary drivers of the seed maturation regulators DELAY OF GERMINATION1 family genes

What is it about?

Seed maturation programs, such as the deposition of food reserves, the suspension of precocious germination, and the preparation for drying, are important part of seed development. We propose the evolutiuonary models of the seed maturation regulators, which are critical to understand the history of land plants.
