ClustalX analysis of the amino acid sequences of the products of maize AChE gene homologs found in plant gene indices. The AChE homologs were identified by a tBLASTn analysis against TIGR Unique Gene Indices. A, Alignment of the amino acid sequences deduced from the AChE homologous genes. The amino acid sequence identities between the maize AChE and each gene product are indicated as percentages in the bottom column. B, Phylogenetic tree based on the ClustalW analysis. The tentative consensus sequence numbers used in this analysis are as follows: sorghum, SbGI TC95805; rice, OsGI TC237385; barley, HvGI TC120185; tomato, LeGI TC116906; soybean, GmGI TC195186; pine, PGI TC39002; Arabidopsis, AtGI TC209133; Nicotiana, NbGI TC2824.
