Fig. 3 — Phylogenetic relationship of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits based on predicted amino acid sequence data. The phylogenetic tree was generated in MacVector 12.5.1 using the Best Tree mode and the neighbour-joining analysis method on a ClustalW alignment of selected insect nAChR protein sequences. Species abbreviations are Am: Apis melifera, Bm: Bombyx mori, Dm: Drosophila melanogaster, Ag: Anopheles gambiae and Fo: Frankliniella occidentalis each with their respective nAChR subtype. Foα6 subunit has closest sequence similarity to other insect nAChR α6 subunits from the nAChR α5-α7 group.
