Fig. 1

Alignment of the four apple Phytoene synthase (PSY) compared with Arabidopsis PSY and apple squalene synthase (MdSQS1 and MdSQS2). Multiple sequence alignment was conducted using ClustalW and manually adjusted in Geneious. The predicted chloroplast cleavage site by ChloroP is indicated by a black triangle. The stop codon present in PSY3 is indicated by a circled asterisk. Boxed sequence indicate the putative active site DXXXD [18]. Highlighting indicates similarity among residues ignoring the gaps in sequence; black, 100 %, dark grey >80 % and grey, >50 %
