FIGURE 2.
Longan TAS3 transcript. (A) Sequence alignment of DlTAS3 in D. longan and AT3G17185.1 (TAS3) in A. thaliana. Asterisk represents the consensus nucleotide; TAS3- tasiRNAs named as 5’D1+ (reads), 5’D2+ (reads), and so on, are highlighted in different colors. The miR390 cleavage site in TAS3 transcript is showed by red arrow. (B) Phylogenetic relationships among plant TAS3 sequences using the neighbor-joining method. Bootstrap values are in percentages. GenBank accession numbers for each sequence represented in the tree are as follows: A. thaliana (AtTAS3a, At3g17185; AtTAS3b, At5g49615; AtTAS3c, At5g57735), V. vinifera (FQ386573); Lotus japonicus (AK338955); Malus domestica (XR_524192); C. sinensis (XR_371831); Solanum lycopersicum (JX047545); O. barthii (GQ420228); Nicotiana tabacum (FJ804751); Prunus mume (XR_513520); P. trichocarpa (XM_006378492). (C) Sequence alignment between 5’D5+ (284) and 5’D6+ (478).
