a Organization of leucine-rich repeats (LRR) across 9 contigs. MEME motif output showing conservation levels across the motif. Larger symbols indicate more common amino acids. Y-axis (bits) shows conservation levels—higher bits reflect higher conservation. X-axis denotes positions along the motif, with higher Y values indicating consistent amino acids at specific positions across analyzed sequences. Two LRR motifs, Motif 1 (red, 17 amino acids) and Motif 2 (blue, 20 amino acids), were identified using MEME Suite. Moreover, the prediction of signal peptides using TargetP v2.0 and SignalP v6.0 (green and brown respectively) in 2 of these sequences (NODE_405 and NODE_1665). b A 3D model of gene_679 (NODE_405) with motif mapping. The structure was modeled on PRIMO [99]. The identified LRR motifs are numbered based on MEME output
