(a) Tropane alkaloid differentiation between Ticumán and Teotihuacán plants (Log scale) that were used to sequence their genomes. Almost all tropane alkaloids showed higher concentration in Ticumán than the Teotihuacán plant. Scopolamine alkaloid is highlighted with a red box. (b) h6h gene phylogeny was generated using 17 genes. Results revealed that two copies of h6h are found in both genomes of D. stramonium (highlighted with a red box). These two gene copies were distributed in two different gene families (OG0028637 and OG0043057). The name of the family was added at the end of the gene name. The gene DaturastramoniumTic8550_OG0028637 (Ticumán genome) have two domains of DIOX_N (PF14226), while all its homologous of the phylogeny only have one DIOX_N domain. The higher production of scopolamine alkaloid in the Ticumán genome could be related with this additional domain and different architecture in the Ticumán h6h gene.
