The microR159 (miR159)-GAMYB regulatory pathway appears highly conserved in land plants. Similar/identical miR159 isomiRs (shown in red) are found in most plant linages, including Lycopods (Selaginella uncinata; [3]) ferns (Salvinia cucullata; [3]), pine (Pinus densata; [36]), Amborella [37], dicots, and monocots (miRbase; [11]). Highly similar and complementary miR159 binding sites (shown in blue) are found in GAMYB homologues from lycopods (Selaginella moellendorffii; [20]), ferns (Salvinia cucullata; [11]), pine (Larix kaempferi; [38]), Amborella and many different monocots and dicots. Variant nucleotide positions are shown in black. However, throughout the plant kingdom, variation is not limited to these positions; for example, see [39].
