Phylogenetic analysis and amino acid sequence alignment of TPS proteins in thyme species. a Phylogenetic analysis of 52 TPSs in thyme. b,c Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of Tq02G002290.1 (b) and Tq13G005250.1 (c) with the reported amino acid sequences of γ-terpinene synthases (TcTPS02.1 and TcTPS02.2; Lima et al., 2013). d Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of Tq03G001560.1 with the reported amino acid sequences of α-terpineol synthases (TcTPS05.1 and TcTPS05.2; Lima et al., 2013). Red boxes indicate the conserved motifs (RRX8W, DDXXD, and NSE/DTE) of TPSs
