Pangenome and transcriptome analyses reveal extensive diversity and breeding signatures in the oat GDSL-esterase/lipase gene family

Lipolytic enzymes play critical roles in plant development, growth, and stress responses. In oat (Avena sativa), they are of particular interest because lipid hydrolysis contributes to rancidity and reduced grain quality, yet little is known about genomic variation in oat lipolytic enzymes. Here, we investigated genomic and expression diversity of the GDSL-esterase/lipase gene family using…
