Abstract excerpt
BARENTSZ (BTZ), a core component of the exon junction complex, regulates diverse developmental processes in animals. However, its evolutionary and developmental roles in plants remain elusive. Here, we revealed that three groups of paralogous BTZ genes existed in Poaceae, and Group 2 underwent loss-of-function mutations during evolution. They showed surprisingly low (~33%) sequence identities, implying functional...
