Genome-Wide Characterization, Stress-Responsive Expression, and QTLome Integration of the DUF1645 Gene Family in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Background: Domain of Unknown Function 1645 (DUF1645) is a conserved but poorly characterized plant gene family whose evolutionary history and roles in stress adaptation remain unclear. We performed an integrated genomic, evolutionary, transcriptomic, and Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) characterization of the DUF1645 f...
