Shared and Conserved Motifs Uncovered by Comparative Phylogenetic Footprinting.

Tree shows phylogenetic footprints for each of the 49 core HRGs (Mustroph et al., 2009), grouped by similarity into nine distinct clusters (Clusters 1 to 9). Clusters were defined as groups of at least five patterns with a branch length of <0.01 between two nodes, representing one consensus sequence. Sequence logos display consensus sequences, and names of known matching cis-elements are indicated in parentheses. The 33-bp region (red) of the LBD41 promoter clusters with the C9motif. Genes tested in Figure 2 are marked in green.
