Extended Data Fig. 2: Diversity and distribution of OSCs across plant clades.
From: Large-scale mining of plant genomes unlocks the diversity of oxidosqualene cyclases
a, Cladogram summarizing OSC evolutionary pathways across plant clades, with D1-3 labelled. Branch colours are as used in Fig. 2. The evolutionary origin of eukaryotic OSCs, unlike other terpene synthases, is shared with the bacterial squalene-hopene synthases (dotted line). Conserved residues from the ‘MWCYCR’ motif are shown5. b, Absence/presence of OSC groups in different plant clades.
