Extended Data Fig. 10

a, Evolution of the core light signaling components of Archaeplastida. Cryptochrome (CRY) was the first type of photoreceptor to originate in red algae66. PPKs first originated in the chlorophytes, and PPK1/4 and PPK2/3 separated from PPKs in lycophytes and ferns, respectively. Both phytochrome and TZP originated in the charophytes, while Arabidopsis phyA and phyB separated after the divergence of seed plants66. Figure created with BioRender.com. b, Alignment of the PLUS3 domain in multiple species from charophytes to angiosperms. The sequences were aligned using ClustalX and modified using Adobe Illustrator.
