Figure 3From: Unexpected complexity of the Aquaporin gene family in the moss Physcomitrella patensPhylogenetic tree showing that the XIPs constitute a monophyletic subfamily distinct from other MIP subfamilies. The unrooted bootstrap majority-rule consensus tree was generated with the parsimony method. Bootstrap support values in percentage are presented for the branches separating the subfamilies. The taxa in the XIP group are numbered for identification in Table 2. Except for these sequences and all PpMIPs (except PpHIP1;1), AQP0 sequences of Bos taurus [GenBank:NM_173937] and Ovis aries [GenBank:AY573927] and TIP sequences from Picea abies [GenBank:AJ005078], Lotus japonicus [GenBank:AF275315], Helianthus annus [GenBank:EF469912], Oryza sativa [GenBank:AB114829] and Posidonia oceanica [GenBank:AJ314583] were used.Back to article page
