Pan-Genome-Wide Identification, Evolutionary Analysis, and Stress-Responsive Expression Profiling of the Maize DUF668 Gene Family
Background/Objectives: Plant proteins containing Domain of Unknown Function 668 (DUF668) have been implicated in growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress, but the population-level diversity and potential functions of this family in maize remain poorly understood. We therefore characterized this family acros...
