Figure 9.

Rooted phylogram of PEPC 1, 2, 3, and 4. Branches labelled A780S are C4-specific PEPC isoforms containing alanine to serine mutation at residue 780 of Z. mays C4-specific gene with accession CAA33317. All the bacterial-type PEPC isoforms including A. hypochondriacus 4 and B. vulgaris 4 cluster in one clade. All the C4-specific PEPC genes from monocots cluster together. Among dicots, C4-specific PEPC genes are split into two clades representing Asterids and Caryophyllales. There is only one C4-specific PEPC gene in A. hypochondriacus as is also found in other C4 plants. In the figure, the protein sequence of PEPC taken from GenBank (gb ADO15315.1) has been labelled as A. hypochondriacus gb and the one extracted from the genomic scaffolds is labelled as A. hypochondriacus 1. This figure appears in colour in the online version of DNA Research.
