Fig. 5: Genomic selection signatures of co-expanded genes involved in trichome development in epiphytic bromeliads.

a KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of co-expanded gene families in T. duratii, V. erythrodactylon, A. comosus, and P. raimondii. Bonferroni multiple comparison Hypergeometric Test was performed for p values. b Genetic variations across the region containing the three expanded genes in 17 terrestrial and 127 epiphytic bromeliads. c In situ detection of three expanded genes. Spatial expression of CYP96A15 duplications within trichome cells, with blue arrows indicating specific expression in the pitted trichome cells. Scale bars, 100 µm.
