PCR products were sequenced via Sanger sequencing using a capillary ABI 3730xl DNA Analyser (Applied Biosystems) at Genetic Analysis Services (GAS), Department of Anatomy, University of Otago (New Zealand). Geneious® (Geneious Pro software, Biomatters Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand) version 10.2.3 was used to analyse sequencing data and investigate/compare genome sequences between species to carry out sequence analysis. For analyses involving the Medicago genome, the latest version of the Medicago truncatula genome (Medtr 4.0v2) with annotations was used as a reference [34 (link)]. Protein alignment was performed using Geneious® MUSCLE Alignment with default settings and the domain search was performed in http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/ (accessed on 6 December 2021) Fe_bilin_red domain (from 63aa to 280aa).
