Abstract excerpt
The RNA-binding pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) family comprises hundreds to thousands of genes in most plants, but only a few dozen in algae, indicating massive gene expansions during land plant evolution. The nature and timing of these expansions has not been well defined due to the sparse sequence data available from early-diverging land plant lineages. In this study, we exploit the comprehensive OneKP datasets...
