Figure 1From: Unexpected complexity of the Aquaporin gene family in the moss Physcomitrella patensEvolutionary relationship of plant MIPs. An unrooted neighbour-joining tree showing the phylogenetic comparison of the complete set of 23 different MIPs from P. patens (Pp) in bold and the 35 respectively 33 MIPs from A. thaliana (At) and Z. mays (Zm). The seven subfamilies found in P. patens are indicated with the same colours as in Fig. 6. Note that the XIP, HIP and GIP have not been found in A. thaliana or Z. mays. The bar indicates the mean distance of 0.1 changes per amino acid residue.Back to article page
