Comprehensive genomics and expression analysis of eceriferum (CER) genes in sunflower (Helianthus annuus)

Sunflower occupies the fourth position among oilseed crops the around the world. Eceriferum (CER) is an important gene family that plays critical role in very-long-chain fatty acids elongation and biosynthesis of epicuticular waxes under both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The aim of present...
