Analysis of conserved motifs and gene structures in the phylogenetic tree of 23 CqSPL genes. A A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the amino acid sequences of the quinoa SPL genes using the NJ method. B Exons and introns are shown as yellow rectangles and gray lines, respectively. The SBP conserved domain and ANK region are clearly marked. 0, 1, and 2 indicate exon phase. C Ten conserved motifs predicted in SPL proteins are shown as differently colored boxes
