Comparisons of the LG3 amino acid sequence with other KNOX amino acid sequences. A, Comparisons of the predicted maize LG3, RS1, and KN1 and putative rice LG3 amino acid sequences. B, A dendrogram comparison of the plant KNOX-like protein sequences. Entire protein sequences were compared. The maize and rice LG3 proteins (LG3ZM and LG3OS, respectively) form a separate subgroup. The figure was compiled using the software program PileUp (Genetics Computer Group, Madison, WI). Protein sequences in B are from Arabidopsis (KNAT1-5, STM1), Glycine max (SBH1), Hordeum vulgare (HOODED), Lycopersicon esculentum (LET6, TKN1), Oryza sativa (LG3OS, OSH1), Solanum tuberosum (POTH1), and Zea mays (LG3ZM, KN1, RS1).
