Insights into membrane-bound fatty acid desaturase genes in tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.), an oil-rich tuber plant in Cyperaceae
Our findings provide a global view of CeFAD genes, which not only highlights lineage-specific evolution of the family, but also provides valuable information for further functional analysis and genetic improvement in tigernut.
