Molecular Evolution and Functional Divergence of Soluble Starch Synthase Genes in Cassava ( Crantz)
Soluble starch synthases (SSs) are major enzymes involved in starch biosynthesis in plants.Cassava starch has many remarkable characteristics, which should be influenced Mists by the evolution of SS genes in this starchy root crop.In this work, we performed a comprehensive phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of the soluble starch synthases in ca
