Fig. 1

Phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, and motif compositions of tomato MIOX genes. a. Multiple alignments of 5 MIOX proteins from tomato were conducted using ClustalX2.1, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA5.0 with 1000 bootstrap replicates. These 5 SlMIOX were clustered into two groups. b. Exon/intron organization of tomato MIOX genes using GSDS. The green boxes represent exons and the black lines represent introns. The blue boxes represent UTR regions. The sizes of the exons and introns can be estimated using the scale at the bottom of the figure. c. Schematic representation of the conserved motifs in tomato MIOX proteins using MEME. Each color represents a specific motif, and each motif is represented as a numbered box. The length of the box does not correspond to the length of the motif
