Phylogenetic tree of the predicted amino acid sequences of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenases (NCED) and ABA 8’-hydroxylases (CYP707A). Known and putative amino acid NCED (A) and CYP707A (B) sequences of Chenopodium quinoa, Chenopodium album and other Amaranthaceae plus selected Brassicales and Cucurbitales species (as indicated) were aligned using ClustalW and Neighbor-Joining trees were built as described in methods. Chenopodium quinoa ( Supplementary Figure 4 ) and C. album ( Supplementary Figure 6 ) sequences (EL02, EL07, EL49, EL61, EL65, EL67) representing the major subgroups were identified. An * indicates identified DEGs during C. quinoa seed germination ( Supplementary Figure 5 ).
