Genome-wide identification and analysis of the ALTERNATIVE OXIDASE gene family in diploid and hexaploid wheat.
A comprehensive understanding of wheat responses to environmental stress will contribute to the long-term goal of feeding the planet.ALERNATIVE OXIDASE (AOX) genes encode proteins involved in a bypass of the electron transport chain and are also known to be involved in stress tolerance in multiple species.Here, we report the identification and char
