Fig. 3: Genomic origin and evolution of Lar.
a Phylogenetic tree of all identified Lar homologs. Genes from Lh, Lb, Lc, and other parasitoid species are shown by red, blue, orange, and green branches, respectively. Nodes with colored backgrounds indicate genes from other animal species, while those in gray indicate microorganism genes. Fo Frankliniella occidentalis, Nl Nilaparvata lugens, Fc Folsomia candida, Oc Orchesella cincta, Hh Halyomorpha halys, Bt Bemisia tabaci, Tc Trichonephila clavipes, Ha Hyalella azteca. A local phylogeny containing the Lh and Lb genes is independently shown with an expression heatmap. The stage names correspond to those in Fig. 1. b Distribution of identified genes in each taxon group. The phylogenetic topology was based on previous studies97,98. Note that only representative taxa are listed in the tree; for insects, a total of 233 species from 20 orders were investigated (see “Methods”), while all the animal taxa listed in the NR database were subject to screening. Information within Hymenoptera (51 species) is shown with details in the context of hypothetical phylogeny17,99,100,101 on the right. The numbers in brackets indicate the number of species in the corresponding family; the latter number after a slash indicates the number of species presenting homologs. O, I, II, and III correspond to the four main clades as shown in a. See detailed information of mucin-bd-related statistics (in blue) in later sections.
