Supplementary Figure 5: Phylogenetic trees of the FIN/HPAT and FAB/CLV1 protein families in tomato and Arabidopsis.
From: A cascade of arabinosyltransferases controls shoot meristem size in tomato
(a) An unrooted maximum-parsimony phylogenetic tree from a subset of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor–like proteins most similar to FAB/CLV1 from tomato and Arabidopsis. Red font indicates tomato, and blue font indicates Arabidopsis. (b) mRNA in situ hybridization on a WT tomato vegetative meristem showing accumulation of FAB transcripts in the L3 meristem layer. Scale bar, 100 μm. L5, fifth leaf. Maximum-parsimony consensus trees are shown with 100 replicate bootstrap values indicated at each node. (c) An unrooted maximum-parsimony phylogenetic tree of the FIN/HPAT family based on complete predicted protein-coding sequences. Red font indicates tomato, and blue font indicates Arabidopsis. FIN is most similar to HPAT3. (d) RT-PCR showing that FIN transcripts are absent in three deletion alleles of the fin mutant (Fig. 2e). The UBIQUITIN (UBI) gene served as an internal control.
