Phylogenetic relationship of OsPLDα1 across Nipponbare, wild species accessions, and cultivars of rice based on the nucleotide sequence data of cDNA. Phylogenetic tree was generated using a neighbor - joining algorithm calculated by boot-strap value of 1000 replicate. The number 1–20 indicates 20 OsPLDα1 variants based on the nucleotide sequences of cDNA while the numbers I to XII indicate protein variants. ‘Ref’ denotes the nucleotide sequences variants which translates into the amino acid sequence same as that of the reference OsPLDα1 protein sequence of Nipponbare.
