Evolutionary dynamics of Orchid DL paralogs: gene duplication, functional divergence, and expression patterns across Orchid subfamilies

Abstract Background Orchids are known for their extraordinarily diversified floral structures and evolutionary adaptations. The study of transcription factor genes, such as the YABBY gene DROOPING LEAF, is crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying orchid development and evolution...
