Binary hierarchical dendogram showing the clustering patterns for TFBS classes that are common between the stress-associated orthologs and their non-stress-associated paralogs. The associated transcriptional regulators (TF) and their known biological functions based on the annotation in the plant-specific cis-element (Genomatix, TRANSFAC and PLACE) databases are shown for each TFBS class.

Additional file 6:

Binary hierarchical dendogram showing the clustering patterns of ortholog-specific TFBS classes. TFBS classes shown are found among the members of the tri-species COGs but not among their paralogs. The associated transcriptional regulators (TF) and their known biological functions based on the annotation in the plant-specific cis-element (Genomatix, TRANSFAC and PLACE) databases are shown for each TFBS class.
