Fig. 7: ereb184 modulates pleiotropy in TBN and LA.

a FFLs from the ‘leaf’ GRN are represented with ereb184 in each of the node positions and the number of times each occurs. The graph below shows GO terms overrepresented within the Z position when EREB184 is in the X position. b An example of a sub-network from the ‘leaf’ GRN shows ereb184 participating in multiple FFLs with KN1 and other proximal-distal patterning TFs that target lg2. The solid yellow arrows represent ChIP-seq validated connections. c Genomic view of the intergenic space upstream (100 kb) and just downstream of ereb184. The tracks from top to bottom: nucleotide diversity (π), conserved non-coding sequences, multi-trait GWAS, unmethylated regions, leaf chromatin interaction data (Hi-C), structural variation, RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq. Data from public sources are indicated in Data accessibility. d The effect of structural variation (SV) presence/absence in the promoter region of ereb184 across 238 accessions on TBN and LA traits, and the effect of SV on ereb184 expression within 26 NAM founder lines. Box plots represent the median, first and third quartiles, and minimum/maximum values. P values were calculated based on a one-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
