Phylogenetic analysis, structural evolution and functional divergence of the 12-oxo-phytodienoate acid reductase gene family in plants

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are enzymes that catalyze the reduction of double-bonds in <it>α</it>, <it>β</it>-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones and are part of the octadecanoid pathway that c...
