Description
Zainab Hanjra and co-authors compare a stress gene family across seven plant genomes in 2026. The family, called WRKY, helps plants answer drought, salt, and attack. Counts ran from fifty-one genes in African rice to one hundred twenty-six in Asian rice. Family trees split the genes into three broad groups.
One group made up about seventy percent of cereal genes but only a quarter in the model weed. Extra copies arose mainly by side-by-side duplication in cereals. Selection kept most copies on a tight leash across history. Knowing which copies expanded helps breeders target stress toughness.
