(A) Relative position and organization of PPO1-9 genes on chromosome 8 of Solanum melongena. All eggplant PPOs except SmelPPO10 are located on chromosome 8. (B) Phylogenetic analysis of PPO proteins. The neighbor-joining trees was constructed by aligning the PPO protein sequences contained in Data Sheet 1. Clade A (orange) and B (yellow) proteins. The number at each node represents the bootstrap percentage value from 1,000 replicates. Smel, Solanum melongena; Sl, Solanum lycopersicum; Stu, Solanum tuberosum.
