Fig. 1.

Two CNSs in the 5′ upstream regions of STM orthologous genes. (A) The positions of RB-boxes (white boxes) and K-boxes (black boxes) in the 5′ upstream region from the translation start codon are illustrated. s and c indicate simple and compound leafed species, respectively. Halved white boxes for some RB-boxes show that sequences only downstream of the core RB box are available because the 5′ degenerate primer for the core RB-box was used to obtain upstream sequences. (B and C) The alignment of sequences of the RB-box and K-box are illustrated, respectively.
