Figure 1. Nucleotide diversity of anthocyanin pathway genes between solanaceae (Pi1)

and poaceae (Pi2) families. Dxy is the average number of nucleotide substitutions per

site between Pi1 and Pi2. Genes are shown at top right corner of each box. X-axis

shows the nucleotide position and Y-axis shows the nucleotide substitution per site.

Fixed difference of synonymous and nonsynonymous changes between solanaceae

and poaceae was found highest in ANS and lowest in CHI. Effective number of

codons (ENC) between solanaceae and poaceae was found higher in upstream

enzymes and lower in downstream enzymes. Multiple sequence alignment of

amino acid sequences of anthocyanin pathway genes showed that CHS was highly

conserved within Solanaceae and Poaceae and CHI was least conserved (Figure

2a and 2b). UF3GT was less conserved than DFR and ANS across the families.
