Fig. 6: Integration of phylogenomic and differential expression datasets identifies candidate ovule genes that support major evolutionary splits in seed plants.
From: Developmentally regulated genes drive phylogenomic splits in ovule evolution
A Flowchart illustrating the phylogenomic and gene expression criteria used to identify candidate ovule development genes. B Upset plot of ortholog groups that support at least one major evolutionary plant split and have expression and/or phylogenetic evidence for influencing ovule development, with overlaps showing supporting evidence. The proportion of ortholog groups in each intersect with known Arabidopsis reproductive genes (Fig. 5A) is indicated in purple. Values on the left indicate the total number of candidate ortholog groups supporting the indicated combination of splits. On the far right, known ovule development genes1 are highlighted in purple, and candidate orthologs we further investigate here are highlighted in black. (1) = seed|spore split, (2) = gymnosperm|angiosperm split, (3) = cycad&Ginkgo|conifer split. 1Gasser and Skinner, 20196, 2Meinke, 202029, 3see Arabidopsis prior knowledge sources in Fig. 5A.
