Comparison of TF gene distribution based on family membership across 19 different eukaryotic species. For each species, the representation of each TF family in the total pool of TF genes identified was expressed as a percentage. The color scale indicates the degree of correlation (red, low correlation; black, strong correlation). The heat map was generated using the Euclidean distances between each organism using the MultiExperiment Viewer (http://www.tm4.org/mev.html).

Arabidopsis, soybean, L. japonicus, and M. truncatula RWP-RK gene expression in various plant tissues. Relative expression levels of Arabidopsis (A), soybean (B), L. japonicus (C), and M. truncatula (D) RWP-RK genes (y axis) are reported for five different tissues (nodule [blue], root [purple], leaf [yellow], flower [green], and pod [red]). For each plant species, the identity of the RWP-RK genes is reported on the x axis. Details are available in Supplemental Table S1. Genes encoding proteins carrying a PB1 domain (NIN-like genes) are highlighted by arrows. LjNIN (Schauser et al., 1999) and MtNIN (Marsh et al., 2007) involved in nodulation are highlighted. *, GmRWP-RK1 was also strongly expressed in soybean apical meristem and root tip; consequently, GmRWP-RK1 is not considered a nodule-specific RWP-RK.
