Figure 3From: In Medicago truncatula, water deficit modulates the transcript accumulation of components of small RNA pathwaysPhylogenetic relations and characteristics of Medicago truncatula DCLs. (A) Evolutionary relationship of M. truncatula and A. thaliana (At) DCLs. The complete protein sequences were aligned using the T-Coffee software [46–48] and a Neighbour joining tree was constructed using the MEGA4.0 software [49]. (B) Characterization of MtDCL proteins domains. The protein domains were obtained using the Conserved Domains Database (CDD) database of NCBI. The Dicer-like protein domains DExD (green), Helicase-c in (blue), DUF283 (dark-blue), PAZ (black), RNAase III (brown), dsRB (red) are shown. Figure B to scale.Back to article page
