Figure 4. Multiple alignment of the predicted nuclear accD from Trifolium repens, Trachelium caeruleum, Sciadopitys verticillata and plastidic accD from Cephalotaxus oliveri, Taxus mairei, Podocarpus lambertii, Agathis dammara and Cryptomeria japonica.

The putative acetyl-CoA binding site, the carboxybiotin-binding site and the CoA-carboxylation catalytic site were shown in black box. The T. repens and T. caeruleum accD gene sequence only contained the 5′-terminal region of the accD gene (the position 513–805 for T. repens and the position 96–330 for T. caeruleum of the entire transcript).
