Comprehensive In Silico Characterization and Expression Profiling of TCP Gene Family in Rapeseed

TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that have multipurpose roles in plant developmental procedures and stress responses. Therefore, a genome-wide analysis was performed to categorize the TCP genes in the rapeseed genome. In this study, a total of 80 BnTCP genes were identified in t...
