Phylogenetic tree of Arabidopsis , rice and maize MAPK genes .There are 20, 15, 17 MAPK genes from Arabidopsis, rice and maize, respectively, all of which contain an activation loop -TXY- motif. One MAPK gene from human (HsERK1) was used as an outgroup. The protein kinase domains of each sequence were predicted by Pfam and aligned by ClustalW [27] using the parameters: Pairwise alignment - Gap opening, 35.0, Gap extension, 0.75; Multiple alignment - Gap opening, 15.0, Gap extension, 0.30. A Neighbour-Joining bootstrapped tree was constructed by MEGA 4.0 [28] using pairwise deletion and JTT matrix-based model, and adjusted manually.
