Relative quantity of BGAL genes in the genomes of various plant species. Predicted proteomes for Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon, Brassica rapa, Citrus clementina, Carica papaya, Capsella rubella, Cucumis sativus, Citrus sinensis, Eucalyptus grandis, Glycine max, Linum usitatissimum, Manihot esculenta, Mimulus guttatus, Medicago truncatula, Oriza sativa, Physcomitrella patens, Populus trichocarpa, Panicum virgatum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Sorghum bicolor, Setaria italica, Selaginella moellendorffii, and Thellungiella halophila were obtained from Phytozome (version 8.0) [14]. Sequences were assessed via Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with HMMER3 [15], using the Pfam-A family database (version 25.0) [17], for genes putatively encoding a glycosyl hydrolase 35 domain. The number of putative BGAL genes was compared to the total number of protein coding loci published for each species at Phytozome (version 8.0) [14].
