Additional Clade-Specific Motifs Identified by MINER. Motifs are arranged by clade, and bordered with the same color scheme as in Figure 1. The thickly boxed motif in Clade Ia overlaps with the range for the QVTX(F/L)XCGG motif shown in Figure 5. Clade Ib had no additional motifs beyond those shown in Figure 5.

Pairwise Gene Expression Correlation Across Populus BAHD Acyltransferase Duplication Types. Box plots for Spearman rank correlations of pairwise gene expression by clade across all microarray experiments. Gene pairs are grouped by their association with local duplication, salicoid duplication, or others (all other pairwise combinations). Categories with the same letter had median correlation values that were not significantly different at α = 0.05 according to Dunn's Multiple Comparison test.

QPCR Expression Analysis of Populus CHATL Genes. A: Relative expression of the highly similar CHATL1/2, CHATL3/6 and CHATL4/5 gene pairs in various P. tremuloides tissues. Data represent means ± SE of three biological replicates. Tissues examined included apical bud/leaves (Apex), young leaves (LPI 0/1), mature leaves (LPI 8), internodes 1-4 (IN 1-4) and 7-10 (IN 7-10), root tips (Root), female flowers (F Flwr), and male flowers (M Flwr). Dashed orange line indicates an expression level comparable to the presence vs. absence cutoff used in microarray analysis. B: Relative expression of CHATL genes in young (YL) and expanding (EL) leaves from the nitrogen stress experiment. Data represent means ± SD of two biological replicates. Genotypes are listed as in Figure 7A, with "High N" samples corresponding to non-stressed tissues in Figure 7A.
