Fig. 6: Duplications of the LPR1/LPR2 family in the ancestral monocot associated with adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle.
From: The slow-evolving Acorus tatarinowii genome sheds light on ancestral monocot evolution
a, Illustration of the functional role of LPR1/LPR2 in Arabidopsis root growth under low Pi conditions according to previous studies. b, There is a significantly higher copy number of LPR1/LPR2 in aquatic plants than in terrestrial plants. Two-sided Mann–Whitney U-test significance is shown on the top of each violin plot (exact P value). c, Three premonocot duplicates of LPR1/LPR2 remained in Acorus (shown in dotted circles). ANA, Amborellales, Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales.
