Fig. 2.

a Phylogenetic relationship (left), and comparison of carboxy-terminal protein regions (right), of the deduced SGRL protein from pea (Ps-SGRL-2822) and related sequences of clade III SGR proteins from other species. Sequences were obtained from Legume Information System (LIS; www.comparative-legumes.org): Mt Medicago truncatula, Gm Glycine max, Cc Cajanus cajan, Pv Phaseolus vulgaris, Rc Ricinus communis, Vv Vitis vinifera, NCBI (www.blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi): At Arabidopsis thaliana, Sb Sorghum bicolor, Zm Zea mays, Os Oryza sativa, and aligned using ClustalW2. b Comparison of cDNA sequences corresponding to the carboxy-terminal protein regions from the legume sequences used in a; yellow shading indicates a C>G nucleotide change, compared to Ps-SGRL-2822 and Mt-4.0v1-3g088795.1, that introduces an earlier stop codon in the other genes shown
