*
Nomenclature for Pto orthologs and paralogs is based on genomic sequences of the Pto loci from Rio Grande-PtoR and VFNT Cherry (GenBank accession nos. AF220602 and AF220603, respectively).
†
Proposed gene names are based on their species of origin and designated in alphabetical order according to their position within the Pto loci of L. pimpinellifolium and L. esculentum. A — denotes that cDNAs corresponding to these orthologs were not found in this study.
