(a) Phylogenetic tree of CCCH IX proteins from O. sativa, S. bicolor, and Z. mays. This tree was constructed using the MEGA 6.0 program by the N-J method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates based on amino acid sequence. The tree is divided into four clades (clades I–IV). (b) Exon-intron structures of 27 CCCH IX genes in three species. Exons and introns are indicated by green thick lines and thin gray lines, respectively. The untranslated regions (UTRs) are indicated by blue lines.
