Most of the disease resistance genes (R genes) in plants cloned to date encode nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) proteins characterized by nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains as well as variable amino- and carboxy-terminal domains (Figure1)....
The average Ka/Ks of paralogous NBS–LRRs in A. hypogaea cv. Tifrunner (0.60) was greater than the Ka/Ks of A. ipaensis (0.59) and A. duranensis (0.55, Fig. 4a). Nevertheless, the average Ka/Ks value of paralogous NBS–LRRs was greater than 0.5 in A. duranensis, A. ipaensis...
