The origin and evolution of a two-component system of paralogous genes encoding the centromeric histone CENH3 in cereals
Abstract Background The cereal family Poaceae is one of the largest and most diverse angiosperm families. The central component of centromere specification and function is the centromere-specific histone H3 (CENH3). Some cereal species (maize, rice) have one copy of the gene encoding this protein, w...
