Integrative Analysis Provides Insights into Genes Encoding LEA_5 Domain-Containing Proteins in Tigernut (<i>Cyperus esculentus</i> L.)

LEA_5 domain-containing proteins constitute a small family of late embryogenesis-abundant proteins that are essential for seed desiccation tolerance and dormancy. However, their roles in non-seed storage organs such as underground tubers are largely unknown. This study presents the first genome-scal...
