Fig. 5: Characterization of AGO gene family members in wild strawberry, rose, columbine, flax, and other representative species from gymnosperms, eudicots, and monocots.

a Phylogenetic tree of Argonaute protein family members encoded in the genomes of plant species, with two-letter prefix indicating the source genome: wild strawberry (Fv), rose (Rc), columbine (Ac), flax (Lu), Norway spruce (Pa), and ginko (Gb) identified in this study along with other seven representative species—Amborella (Atr), soybean (Gm), tomato (Sl), Arabidopsis (At), asparagus (Ao), maize (Zm), and rice (Os). Abundance profile of genes encoding AGO family members in b wild strawberry, c in rose, d in columbine, and e in flax. Bst indicates the bud stage, anth indicates the anther. Source data underlying Fig. 5b–e are provided as a Source Data file.
