Expression of CCR. (A) Schematic of the CCR gene showing the positions of exons and introns. Exons are shown as boxes and introns as lines. Positions of SNP markers from the significant haplotype region are shown. Alternative splicing is caused by skipping part of exon 4 and all of exon 5. Alternative stop codon in 3′-UTR has been included in the splice variant. (B) Amino acid sequence of the CCR gene. The boxed motif NWYCY (bottom) is conserved in all plant CCR genes and is thought be the catalytic site of the gene. Amino acid sequences (boldface type) are deleted and a new sequence of six amino acids is added to the splice variant. “*SNP 120” is from the E. globulus full-sib family.
