Phylogenetic tree of B. mori apoLTP-III and similar proteins. The maximum-likelihood tree was constructed with B. mori apoLTP-III and 34 similar insect proteins and one water flea collected from the NCBI protein database. Five distinguished groups, bees and ants group, butterflies and moths group, beetles group, mosquitoes group, and flies group, are denoted by arcs. The taxon name represents the scientific name of each species with the protein accession number. Numbers at each node indicate the percentage of bootstrap tests replicated 1,000 times. Bootstrap values inside each group have been omitted. Multiple alignment of the 36 amino acid sequences is shown in supplementary Fig. III.
