Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The analysis identified 356 MORC orthologues in 60 plant genomes.
- Observation Sequence analyses found a conserved motif composition defining the MORC domain.
- Observation The MORC domain was found in plants and animals, consistent with origin before their divergence.
- Observation Plant MORC genes separated into two major phylogenetic groups.
- Observation Green plant Group I MORC genes were further divided into Group I-1 and Group I-2.
- Mechanism Duplications of MORC Groups I-2 and II contributed to family expansion in angiosperms.
- Observation MORC expression was higher in reproductive tissues than other organs in Arabidopsis, soybean and rice.
- Observation Several MORC paralogous gene pairs had divergent expression patterns in Arabidopsis, soybean and rice.
