HbJAZ gene structure is conserved with the Arabidopsis orthologue. (A) Phylogenetic tree constructed from the amino acid sequence of 12 full-length AtJAZs and 7 full-length HbJAZ, showing five (A–E) subclades of proteins. (B) Intron/exon organization of the corresponding genes. Thick green and blue bars indicate coding regions and non-coding untranslated regions in exons, respectively. The Jas motif coding region is depicted in red. Introns are depicted by a thin black horizontal line or, in the case of the Jas intron, a red line. (C) Sequence of the Jas exon/intron junction in five HeveaJAZ genes containing the intron. Exon sequences are highlighted in black with the predicted amino acid sequence.
