Table 2 Identification of putative functions for somatic embryogenesis marker genes based on the reciprocical best hit analysis (BLASTX) using full cDNA sequences, and then co-orthology relationships, inferred by phylogeny, using the deduced amino acid sequences of the AP2 domain for each gene (see Additional file 1 : Figure S1, Additional file 2 : Figure S2, Additional file 3 : Figure S3, Additional file 4 : Figure S4, Additional file 5 : figure S5 and Additional file 6 : Figure S6)

From: Some ethylene biosynthesis and AP2/ERF genes reveal a specific pattern of expression during somatic embryogenesis in Hevea brasiliensis
