Evolutionary patterns of the PHO1 gene family. Variations in both gene copy and introns of the PHO1 genes in the major lineages of organisms are summarized. Liverworts and gymnosperms are not included as their e whole genome sequences were not available. The number of the species with whole genome sequenced is given in the parenthesis behind of each lineage. Gene copy number of the lineages with multiple species is given as the mean per species. Class I and Class II, are abbreviated as C-I and C-II respectively.
