SWEETs play important roles in various biological processes, including plant growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Previously, we comprehensively found a total of 28 members of MeSWEET gene family in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Most of MeSWEET genes had 6 exons and 5 introns. In this study, 6 MeSWEET duplicated pairs, including 5 segmental and 1 tandem duplication events were manually predicted in cassava genome. |
