Phylogenetic and expression analysis of WOX family in Arabidopsis and rice. (a) The phylogenetic tree (NJ) of 29 WOX members from Arabidopsis and rice constructed by MAGE 4 (Kumar et al., 2004). A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I refer to subgroups WUS, WOX4, WOX2, WOX1/6, WOX5/7, WOX3, WOX8/9, WOX11/12, and WOX13, respectively. (b) Expression pattern analysis; the average values were chosen among the expression values published in AtGenExpress. (http://www.weigelworld.org/resources/microarray/AtGenExpress), SIGnAL (http://signal.salk.edu/), and RiceXPro (http://ricexpro.dna.affrc.go.jp). R: root; St: stem; L: leaf; F: flower; Se: seed; HE: high expression; LE: low expression; NDP: no data published. (c) The CpG islands among the members are highlighted in red lines.
