Expansin gene family in Beta vulgaris. (a) Phylogenetic analysis of the EXPANSIN (EXP) family in B. vulgaris. EXP of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was used as outgroup. (b) Minimum gene numbers reported for the four EXP subfamilies of representative plant genomes compared with those in B. vulgaris. (c) Expression of EXP genes in root, hypocotyl and leaf of B. vulgaris. Data in the Venn diagram are compiled from our reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) results shown in their entirety in Table S2 (see Supporting Information). (d) A phylogenetic tree of the EXP family, including protein sequences from Arabidopsis thaliana and B. vulgaris. This tree does not correctly resolve clade EXPA‐V, possibly because of changes in amino acid usage between Arabidopsis and sugar beet EXPs. The clades of the EXPA subfamily are numbered according to a previous classification in Sampedro and Cosgrove (2005).
