Distribution and expression of DLN repressors encoding genes. (A) Chromosomal localization of genes coding for 266 DLN repressors on 12 chromosomes of rice, genes in opposite orientation have been marked on either side and chromosome numbers are mentioned on top. The numbers represent the motif names in the encoded protein. Tandemly duplicated genes have been marked in green, blue, orange, pink, and purple from C2H2, PHD, bZIP, AP2, and btb_poz families, respectively. Heat map has been shown for genes at least two folds significantly (B) up- and (C) downregulated during rice seed development stages (S1–S5), with respect to vegetative controls (ML—mature leaf, YL—leaf, R—root, SDL—7-day-old seedling). The seed-specific genes have been marked in red in (B) and the color legends are shown at the bottom of the heat map.
