Abstract excerpt
Gene duplication events, and the subsequent functional divergence of duplicates, are believed to be important evolutionary agents, driving morphological diversification. We have studied the structural and functional diversification of members of a plant-specific gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana by analysing mutant phenotypes, expression patterns and phylogeny. The SHI gene family comprises ten members that...
