Phylogenomic analysis reveals exceptions to the co-evolution of ZAR1 and ZRK immune gene families in plants
This study provides novel findings on the evolution of ZAR1 and ZRK immune gene families across a wide range of plant species, suggesting that more potential exceptions can be expected when expanding the list of sequenced genomes from distinct orders. Our results provide new hypotheses about the origin and diversification of these critical immune genes for future functional studies.
