Figure 5. Phylogenetic analysis of rice and Arabidopsis family GT43 proteins (A), exon-intron organization (B) and expression patterns (C) of OsGT43 genes. (A) The GT43 amino acid sequences were aligned using ClustalW and their phylogenetic relationship was analyzed using the neighbor-joining method in MEGA5.2 (Tamura et al., 2011). Bootstrap values resulted from 1,000 replicates are shown at the nodes. (B) Open boxes and lines denote exons and introns, respectively. The bar scale shows the number of nucleotides. (C) The expression of OsGT43 genes in various tissues shown as the heat map was from Li et al.⁵⁰ Shoot and root tissues are from 2-week-old shoots and roots of rice (Oryza sativa Japonica Nipponbare).
