The origin and evolution of a two-component system of paralogous genes encoding the centromeric histone CENH3 in cereals.

BMC plant biology - 18 Nov 2021

Elisafenko Evgeny A, Evtushenko Elena V, Vershinin Alexander V

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The cereal family Poaceae is one of the largest and most diverse angiosperm families. The central component of centromere specification and function is the centromere-specific histone H3 (CENH3). Some cereal species (maize, rice) have one copy of the gene encoding this protein, while some (wheat, barley, rye) have two. We applied a homology-based approach to sequenced cereal genomes, in order to...
