Figure 3From: Molecular evolution accompanying functional divergence of duplicated genes along the plant starch biosynthesis pathwaySites under selection along the evolution of the two starch biosynthesis enzymes exhibiting compartmental specialization, PHO and PGM. A: Starch phosphorylase gene family; B: Phosphoglucomutase gene family. Sites are positioned on consensus sequences inferred at duplication nodes D1. Posterior probability (PP) of sites detected under positive selection in branch a (above the sequence) or b (beneath the sequence) are indicated: * for PP > 0.95, ** for PP > 0.99. Sites highlighted in dark grey and light grey correspond respectively to the catalytic domain and ion metal binding domain of pgm described by Manjunath and collaborators [30].Back to article page
