Figure 3: Phylogenetic tree of the KAS gene family from flax cv. CDC Bethune. Multiple sequence alignments were generated using the predicted amino acid sequences. The unaligned 160 amino acids of the N-terminus with variable deduced protein lengths were truncated to facilitate the NJ tree construction. Orthologous KAS genes previously identified from other plants species are labeled in red and the bootstrap support expressed as the percentage of the 1,000 bootstrap replicates is shown. At: Arabidopsis; Gm: Glycine max (soybean); Jc: Jatropha curcas; Pt: Populus trichocarpa (black cottonwood); Rc: Ricinus communis (castor bean).
