Predicted homeobox genes in B. cinerea.

The putative homeobox genes are presented with their corresponding number in both the B05-10 (BC1G_) and T4 (BofuT4_) strains whose genomes are sequenced (in the T4 genome, BcHOX1 is found within the excluded contig bt4exctg_0160). Their phylogenetic clades is indicated as proposed by the fungal transcription factor database (FTFD). Orthologues found in S. sclerotiorum are indicated with the results of the InterPro domain conservation. Expression data are shown through recorded ESTs and transcriptomics results of sunflower infection (48 hours) compared to liquid cultures [40]. Asterisks label the two genes with no homologue found in other sequenced fungal genomes except S. sclerotiorum. BcHOX9 has already been characterized by Schamber et al. as the Ste12 gene [39].
