Figure 8. Multiple alignment of partial sequences of the sixth exon of the O2 gene.

Sequences of x15544 and B73 are supplied by GenBank and MaizeSequence, respectively. The other five sequences are sequenced by us. Dhuang212 and liao2345 are wild-type inbred lines in China. Dashes indicate gaps and asterisks indicate identical residues. The stop codons are indicated by blue characters, and the insertions and deletions are indicated by red characters.
