AEP-like: asparaginyl endopeptidase-like; ID: gene identification in TrichDB genome database [25] or in PubMed database; bp: gene size in base pairs (bp); aa: protein size in amino acids (aa); contig: contig number identification; orientation: gene orientation in the contig; RE: number of repetitive elements close to CP localized in the same contig; NP: not present RE; NR: no reported data; EST and TvLI: total of EST sequence and ESTs reported in low-iron conditions in the TrichDB database, respectively; H: high-iron conditions; Ta: upregulated genes in H or L iron concentrations by transcriptomic analysis [71].
