The 5 different AtIAP1 transcripts are denoted as mRNA variant 1 to 5, with variant 1 being the shortest transcript, and variant 5 being the longest. A similar nomenclature has been used for the other species. GenBank accession nos. are as follows: AtIAP1 mRNA variants 1 to 5: EF043244, EF043245, EF043246, EF043247, and EF043248, respectively; AaIAP1 mRNA variants 1 to 4: EF043240, EF043241, EF043242, and EF043243, respectively; AeIAP1 mRNA variants 1 to 3: EF043237, EF043238 and EF043239, respectively; CpIAP1 mRNA variants 1 to 3: EF043249, EF043250, and EF043251, respectively and CtIAP1 mRNA variants 1 to 4: EF043252, EF043253, EF043254, and EF043255, respectively.
