Expression Analysis of Sugarcane Aquaporin Genes under Water Deficit

Figure 2

Neighbor Joining dendrogram (MEGA v.5.2.1 software [27]) and integrated heat map (bootstrap values of 1,000 replications), showing the phenetic grouping of 24 potential aquaporin amino acid sequences identified by HT-SuperSAGE unitags from sugarcane accessions after 24 h of continuous dehydration (with their respective EST and unitag identifiers), and aquaporins sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana, human and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (all these labeled by an asterisk). Nomenclature: Isoforms are preceded by the abbreviated species name (At-Arabidopsis thaliana; Hs-Homo sapiens; Hv-Hordeum vulgare; Os-Oryza sativa; Pv-Panicum virgatum; Sb-Sorghum bicolor; So-Saccharum officinarum; Yp-Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; Zm-Zea mays).
