Conserved amino acid regions were identified in angiosperm and gymnosperm C-terminal sequences by the use of MEME software (setting described in Methods). Motifs were detected among the sequences belonging to each phylogenetic clade comprised of at least one spruce MYB (Additional File 2). Sequences from Additional File 3 were used to identify more conifer members of the PgMYB6, 7, 9 clade. Within the consensus sequences, upper-case letters indicate amino acids found in all members of a subgroup, lower-case letters indicate amino acids conserved in more than 50% of the members, pairs of lower-case amino acid in brackets show the two most abundant amino acids present for 50% each and above, x indicates that no amino acid is conserved among the sequences.

1Sg, MYB subgroups identified by Kranz et al. [18].

2Source of full length cDNA sequence: -a-, full length cDNA clone identified from EST of Picea glauca database; b- partial cDNA clone identified from EST database of P. glauca, extended by RACE amplifications and finally amplified as a single clone by PCR with gene specific primers, and -c-, from non degenerates primers based on Pinus taeda MYB sequences and used on spruce cDNA followed by RACE amplifications.

3Lengths are expressed in amino acid (aa) residues.

4The number of MYB sequences, separately from angiosperm and gymnosperms, sharing the motif among all those used in each case.

5The position of the motif relative to the beginning of the C-terminal domain (5' end).
