Molecular Diversity of miR390-Guided Transacting siRNA Precursor Genes in Lower Land Plants: Experimental Approach and Bioinformatics Analysis
Figure 4
Synoptic consensus view on phylogeny of major Bryophyta taxa based on recent molecular analyses, adopted from Figure 3 of Shaw et al. [26] with modifications. Taxa discussed in the current study are underlined. Taxa from Hypnales (upper) to Dicranales (lower) represent orders; taxa from Timmiidae (upper) to Buxbaumiidae (lower) represent subclasses; taxa from Tetraphidopsida (upper) to Takakiopsida (lower) represent classes. (+) indicates the encoding of miR390-guided TAS3-like genes, and (−) indicates the possible absence of miR390-guided TAS3-like genes. Arrows indicate branching points showing monophyletic origin of class Bryopsida and subclass Bryidae.
