Figure 2From: Identification and characterization of the zinc-regulated transporters, iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) gene family in maizePhylogenetic analysis of the ZIP family members from various species. The unrooted phylogenetic tree was constructed with the deduced protein sequences of ZIP proteins from various species using the neighbor-joining method in MEGA 4.0 software. For proteins and accession numbers used for phylogenetic analysis, refer to Methods. The ZmZIP proteins are boxed, and the scale bar corresponds to a distance of 20 changes per 100 amino acid positions.Back to article page
