a
The predicted amino acid sequence of POTLX-3 (GenBank accession no. U60202) was compared with other plant LOX gene products available in the GenBank database: tobacco LOX1 (Veronesi et al. 1995); POTLX-1 and POTLX-2 (Kolomiets et al. 1996a); tomato tomloxA (Ferrie et al. 1994); Arabidopsis AtLox1 (Melan et al. 1993); barley LoxA (van Mechelen et al. 1995); and potato H1 and H3 (Royo et al. 1996).
b
Percentage identity and percentage similarity were calculated with the GAP program of the Genetics Computer Group of the University of Wisconsin (Madison, WI).
