Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are encoded by multigene families and possess physiological functions that remain unclear. Our objective was to characterize the complete nsLtp gene family in rice and arabidopsis and to perform wheat EST database mining for nsLtp gene discovery. RESULTS: In this study, we carried out a genome-wide analysis of nsLtp gene families in Oryza sativa and...
