TCP protein sequence alignments. A. Alignment of the TCP domain and adjoining sequence for the predicted tomato TCP proteins. Overall conserved amino acids are shaded in black. Amino acids over 80% conserved in Class II or Class I are shaded in light gray and dark gray, respectively. The Basic, Helix I, Loop, and Helix II regions are indicated. B. Alignment of the R-domain of Class II subfamily members. Sequences were aligned with ClustalW and visualized with Genedoc. C. Alignment of putative target areas for miR319a (aligned in reverse).
