Single Amino Acid Divergence Drives Functional Specialisation of Homologous GRFs in Populus.
Gene duplication with sub- and/or neo-functionalization is a key pathway in plant adaptive evolution. The duplication-degeneration-complementation (DDC) model explains sub-functionalization of paralogs, yet the relative contributions of coding sequence versus cis-regulatory changes remain contested. In this study, we s...
