Genomic and evolutionary analysis reveals dynamic variations of MKK3 gene, a key regulator for seed dormancy in barley
Abstract Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important crop in the world, and its seed dormancy is primarily controlled by a mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3) gene. Although kinase activity of MKK3 and its roles in barley post‐domestication have been widely studied, the pre‐domestication evolution of MKK3...
