Figure 3

Comparison of predicted Picea abies and P. glauca CLEL transcript exon/intron structures and splice variants. The diagram depicts the portions of the predicted transcripts including and between the predicted initiator and terminator codons of the genes, omitting the 5′-untranslated regions and 3′-untranslated regions of the predicted transcripts. The transcripts are drawn to scale, with the scale bar at the top of the figure. The predicted transcripts are grouped by predicted splice variants and presumed orthologues designated by labelled brackets at the left of the figure and with the P. abies members of each set as the upper transcript(s) of the set. Predicted exons are depicted as blue arrows and predicted introns are depicted as black lines. Predicted alternative splice sites that result in selection of alternative CLEL peptide sequences are depicted as white asterisks. The CLE peptide domains are depicted as coloured triangles. Triangles with the same colour represent presumed orthologous peptides.
