It also includes the data corresponding to the accumulated percentage for the comparisons between families. When comparing species, nucleotide sequence identity varied from 70.2% (C. avellana×Z. mays) to 100%, whereas identities in the amino acid sequences ranged from 71.9% (B. pendula×Z. mays) to 100%. The higher range of intra- specific variability was that of the Olea europaea L. nucleotide sequences (28.2%), whereas the profilin nucleotide sequences of Betula pendula showed the shorter range of variability (0.5%). Among the families, the percentage of nucleotide identity varied from 70.2% (Betulaceae×Poaceae) to 100% in several cases, while the percentages applied to the amino acid sequences ranged from 74.2% (Oleaceae×Poaceae) also to 100%. Intra- family variability in the nucleotide sequences ranged from 28.2% (Oleaceae) to 20.1% (Poaceae).
