An overview of conserved domains and motifs in plant (archeplastid) FH2 proteins. Presence or absence of FH2 domains of the three plant-specific formin clades, as well as conserved domains or motifs found in formins of at least two species, are indicated. For a more detailed table including single-instance domains, a full list of species and numbers of genes see Additional file 5. RhoGAP – GTPase-activator protein for Rho-like GTPases [Smart: SM00324]; for remaining domain abbreviations see Table 1.
