Horizontal Gene Transfer in Five Parasite Plant Species in Orobanchaceae.

abstract：:Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) is the key regulator of fatty acid biosynthesis. In most plants, ACCase exists in two locations (cytosol and plastids) and in two forms (homomeric and heteromeric). Heteromeric ACCase comprises four subunits, three of them (ACCA-C) are nuclear encoded (nr) and the fourth (ACCD) is usual...
