Algorithm for Identification of DNA Motif Variant Conservation.

(A) Phylogenetic tree of the species used in this study. Full latin names of all plants are provided in Supplemental Table 1.

(B) to (D) Occurrences of particular motif variants in orthologs of MP (B), GH3.5 (C), and AUX/IAA1 (D) of the corresponding species of the tree in (A). Red blocks mark the presence of a specific motif variant in the 1-kb gene promoter. Black blocks mark the absence of the variant. Multiple occurrences of the variants are considered as one.
