Abstract:Data on gene expression in the development of the root in Arabidopsis thaliana were used to test for expression profile differences among multi-gene families and to examine the extent to which expression differences accompanied coding sequences divergence within families. Significant differences among families were observed on two principal axes, accounting for over 80% of the variance in the expression data. The number of synonymous nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site (dS) and the number of nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions per nonsynonymous site (dN) were estimated between the members of two-member families (Nthinsp=thinsp428) and between phylogenetically independent sister pairs (Nthinsp=thinsp190) of sequences within larger families. Ribosomal proteins and a few other proteins were exceptional in showing highly divergent expression patterns in spite of very low levels of amino acid sequence divergence, as indicated by the low dN relative to dS. However, the majority of gene duplicates showed relatively high levels of amino acid sequence divergence without appreciable change in expression pattern in the cell types analyzed.
