Figure 4

Gene expansion of orthologs in S. pistillata and A. digitifera. Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic trees were constructed using RAxML with 1,000 bootstraps. Bootstrap support is indicated at branches of phylogenetic trees. (A) Ortholog expansion displaying a many-to-many relationship for a NOD-like receptor family member, in which A. digitifera harbors 52 proteins in comparison to S. pistillata that harbors only 5 proteins. (B) Ortholog expansion displaying a many-to-one relationship of a TRAF (TNF receptor-associated factor 3) homolog with expansion in S. pistillata (3 genes) and one corresponding counterpart in A. digitifera. (C) Ortholog expansion displaying a many-to-one relationship of a member of the NOD-like receptor family member (NLRC3) with a particularly pronounced expansion in A. digitifera (55 genes) and only one corresponding counterpart in S. pistillata.
