Number of predicted membrane transporters and ABA reception complex proteins and families in different taxa. A and B, The number of predicted transporters and ABA reception families (A) and guard cell genes (B) are grouped into seven taxa. The GENESIS (http://genesis-sim.org/) simulation environment was used to estimate the similarity among protein sequences (A) and family (B). Candidate protein sequences were selected by BLASTP (NCBI) software searches that satisfied the criteria of E-value < 10−10 and query coverage > 50% for guard cell proteins and E-value < 10−5 for all proteins. C, The number of gene families in different taxa. Data are mean ± se for those with error bars.
