Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Flowering genes showed more than 60% homology across the three species.
- Observation Some small insertion/deletions were detected in these flowering genes.
- Mechanism Simple repeat sequences in these flowering genes may have driven their genetic variation and divergence.
- Observation Flowering genes were expressed preferentially in organelle and cellular components.
- Observation Flowering genes participated mainly in metabolic processes with binding and catalytic functionality.
- Recommendation Key flowering genes share common characteristics that may allow identification and analysis of other flowering genes.
