Comparative genomic and gene expression study of Dirigent genes in genus Dendrobium: a bioinformatics analysis
A bioinformatics study analyzed the Dirigent (DIR) gene family across 17 Dendrobium orchid species. The research identified 202 genes and categorized them into five subfamilies, highlighting their evolutionary history and organ-specific expression patterns.
Why it matters
Understanding the genetic basis of plant defense mechanisms in orchids can aid in agricultural breeding and the study of plant stress responses.
