Alignment of homologous ZmJAZ amino acid sequences from group 1, 2, and 3 obtained from three different maize inbreds. a The deduced protein sequences of ZmJAZ1, ZmJAZ2, and ZmJAZ3–1 were aligned from maize inbred B73, Mp708, and Tx601 using MEGA. Identical or conserved amino acids are indicated in black backgrounds. The dashes denote spaces required for optimal alignment. Numbers correspond to the amino acid positions. The conserved TIFY domain is labeled with a broken black box, and Jas domain is labeled with a solid black box. Additional conserved CMID motif in the N-terminal is also indicated by consensus sequence FAXXCSLLSXXXK/R. The Sequences were aligned using ClustalW. Comparison of cDNA sequences corresponding to the conserved b TIFY domain and c Jas domain was also shown. Numbers correspond to the nucleotide position. Black backgrounds indicate identical nucleotides
