Genome-wide comparison reveals divergence of cassava and rubber aquaporin family genes after the recent whole-genome duplication

Abstract Background Aquaporins (AQPs) are a class of integral membrane proteins that facilitate the passive transport of water and other small solutes across biological membranes. Despite their importance, little information is available in cassava (Manihot esculenta), a perennial shrub of the Eupho...
