39. Although the only fully sequenced genome in Brassicaceae is currently A. thaliana, expressed sequence tag (EST) data are available for other species. BLAST searches of ESTs in Brassicaceae revealed many genes from the LUP clade but did not uncover obvious LUP1 orthologs.

41. The almost identical lengths of nonterminal exons among genes in the LUP clade suggest that the cyclase portion of trinorlupeol synthesis may have arisen largely through point mutations. In contrast, A. thaliana evolved mainly by gene deletion, karyotype reduction, and chromosomal rearrangements: Schranz, M. E.; Song, B.-H.; Windsor, A. J.; Mitchell-Olds, T. Curr. Opin. Plant Biol 2007, 10. 168-175.
42. Many secondary metabolites have a narrow biological distribution. For example, avenacin triterpenoids are found only in a single genus: Haralampidis, K.; Bryan, G.; Qi, X.; Papadopoulou, K.; Bakht, S.: Melton, R.; Osbourn, A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2001, 98, 13431-13436.
