Basal Transcription Factor 3 Plays an Important Role in Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Rice
Figure 1
Amino acid sequence comparison (a) and phylogenetic tree (b) of different variants of OsBTF3. A deduced amino acid sequence of different variants of OsBTF3 and alignment with related sequences of different plants. The residues conserved among the compared sequences are in red colour. The overline (---) indicates a putative nuclear localization signal sequence, while the double dashed line (==) indicates the NAC domain. Gene Bank accession numbers for the proteins in the alignment are as follows: Arabidopsis thaliana BTF3 (AEE29647), Nicotiana benthamiana BTF3 (ABE01085), Oryza sativa 10gBTF3 (NP_001064883), Oryza sativa 3g1BTF3 (NP_001048709), Oryza sativa 3g2BTF3 (NP_001051911), Capsicum annuum BTF3 (ABM55742), Ricinus communis BTF3 (EEF34688), Solanum lycopersicum BTF3 (NP_001234229), Triticum aestivum BTF3 (AFV31408), Zea mays BTF3 (ACG28870), and Sorghum bicolor BTF3 (EER93008). The tree was constructed using MEGA5 software.
