To identify SAP genes in Jatropha, Pfam server (http://pfam.xfam.org/) (accessed on 31 August 2022) was searched for the A20 domain (PF01754) and AN1 domain (PF01428), and then the HMMER (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/hmmer/search/hmmsearch) (accessed on 31 August 2022) Hidden Markov model was used as a probe to screen all the candidate proteins. To ensure the reliability of the sequences and to remove redundant sequences, the search results of all candidate SAP protein sequences were further searched for the presence of A20/AN1 domains using the Pfam database (http://pfam.janelia.org/) (accessed on 31 August 2022), MOTIF search (https://www.genome.jp/tools/motif/) (accessed on 31 August 2022), NCBI conserved domain database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/cdd/wrpsb.cgi) (accessed on 31 August 2022), SMART database (http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/) (accessed on 31 August 2022), and Inter ProScan program (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/pfa/ iprscan5/) (accessed on 31 August 2022). The protein sequences of the SAP gene family of rice and Arabidopsis (Supplementary Table S1) were retrieved from the previously published report [5 (link)]. Multiple sequence alignments of all the sequences of Jatropha, Arabidopsis, and rice were performed using Muscle. Subsequently, to create a phylogenetic tree, the alignments were imported to MEGA7 software (https://www.megasoftware.net/home) (accessed on 1 September 2022) using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method with a bootstrap option of 1000 replications. The phylogenetic tree was further visualized and edited via MEGA7 software (https://www.megasoftware.net/home) (accessed on 1 September 2022) [22 (link),23 (link),24 (link),25 (link),26 (link)].
