Plants containing biflavonoids possess GbCYP90J6 orthologs. These include mosses (Sphagnum fallax, Sphagnum magellanicum, Physcomitrium patens, Ceratodon purpureus, and Pohlia nutans), the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii, ferns (Alsophila spinulosa and Adiantum capillus-veneris), and gymnosperms (Ginkgo biloba, Cycas panzhihuaensis, Taxus chinensis, Thuja plicata, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, and Sequoiadendron giganteum). Conversely, in plants lacking biflavonoids, GbCYP90J6 orthologs are absent. These include hornworts (Anthoceros angustus, Anthoceros agrestis, and Anthoceros punctatus), liverworts (Marchantia polymorpha), Pinaceae (Pseudotsuga menziesii, Picea babies, and Pinus teada), and Gnetales (Gnetum montanum and Welwitschia mirabilis). Thus, the distribution of biflavonoids is highly correlated with the presence of GbCYP90J6 orthologs, indicating the important role of these orthologs in the dimerization of biflavonoids. Additionally, we provide the detailed distribution of orthologs in plants in Supplementary Fig. 13 and detailed plant biflavonoids dispersed information in Supplementary Data 2.
