Analysis of CcGASA family members in Citrus clementina (Hort. ex Tan.) by a genome-wide approach

Abstract The Gibberellic Acid Stimulated Arabidopsis (GASA) proteins were investigated in the study to help understand their possible roles in fruit trees, particularly in Citrus. A total of 18 CcGASA proteins were identified and characterized in Citrus clementina via a genome-wide approach. It was...
