New reference genome sequences of hot pepper reveal the massive evolution of plant disease-resistance genes by retroduplication

Abstract Background Transposable elements are major evolutionary forces which can cause new genome structure and species diversification. The role of transposable elements in the expansion of nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich-repeat proteins (NLRs), the major disease-resistance gene families, has...
