Mutations in the VRN 2 locus of Ae. tauschii E1. Multiple alignments of predicted coding sequences of ZCCT1 a and ZCCT2 b in Ae. tauchii E1 (KM489155 and KM489156), and winter controls AS75 (KM503042 and KM503043) and AL8/78 (ACI00354 and ACI00358). Numbers in parenthesis are GenBank accession numbers for ZCCT1 and ZCCT2, respectively. For the ZCCT1 protein from E1, a 35 amino acid deletion observed in 87.5 % of the cloned and sequenced cDNAs is underlined (the other 12.5 % of the clones include an intron region producing a premature stop codon). The CCT domain is indicated with asterisks in both genes. SNPs are highlighted in gray. Critical Arg residues in the CCT domain are highlighted in black
