| LuAOS | AtAOS | PaAOS | LeAOS | LeHPL | CaHPL | AtHPL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LuAOS | 59.9 | 65.0 | 61.1 | 36.1 | 36.0 | 34.9 | |
| AtAOS | 55.7 | 60.5 | 62.2 | 38.2 | 37.2 | 36.3 | |

| LeAOS | 53.1 | 57.5 | 55.9 | 35.6 | 35.3 | 35.9 | |
| LeHPL | 36.3 | 38.7 | 38.0 | 36.0 | 87.6 | 55.3 | |
| CaHPL | 36.3 | 38.5 | 38.7 | 36.5 | 85.5 | 53.2 | |

Values on the upper right diagonal of the matrix indicate the percentage of amino acid identity between different family members. Values on the lower left of the matrix indicate the percentage of nucleotide identity. Percentage identity within the open reading frame of each pair of sequences was calculated using DNA Star software (Clustal method). AOS sequences were from flax (Linum usitatissimum), guayule (Parthenium argentatum), Arabidopsis, and tomato. HPL sequences were from pepper, Arabidopsis, and tomato. GenBank accession nos. for the sequences are given in Figure 2.
