Figure 6

Presence of PGL34 homologues in crop species. Sequence alignment of proteins similar to PGL34. Amino acid sequences were aligned using ClustalW. Transit peptides were predicted using the TargetP software and removed from the protein sequences. The predicted transit peptide length of PGL34 was 53 amino acids. The alignment was formatted with the BOXSHADE 3.21 software. Residues identical in at least 6 sequences are shaded. Identical residues are in black and conserved substitutions are in grey. Diamonds indicate truncated sequences. EST contigs were retrieved from TIGR Plant Transcript Assemblies (TA, http://plantta.tigr.org/search.shtml) and Tentative Consensus (TC, http://tigrblast.tigr.org/tgi/) databases.
