Fig. 8

Conserved peptides identified throughout the pipeline. a Selection of fungal species displaying conserved motifs. Endo: endophytes, Symb: symbionts, PatP: plant pathogens, PatA: animal pathogens, Sapr: saprotrophs. Categories of conserved motifs are depicted by encircled numbers. Categories are depicted in (b). They correspond to groups of repeated motifs with a similar sequence, identified in at least four species. Similarity was determined by manual curation. For each fungal species, the conserved motif and its number of repetition is indicated. Motif 4 in C. graminicola was cropped to highlight its conserved sequence. Branches of the tree where collapsed when species displayed no conserved peptide. In the case of Basidiomycota and Aspergillus groups, branches were collapsed for space saving (only some species of these groups indeed contain a conserved peptide).
