Comparative analysis of TH1 protein sequences and expression profile. (a) TH1 protein sequences of Oryza sativa (OsTH1), Arabidopsis thaliana (AtTH1), Zea mays (ZmTH1), Brassica napus (BTH1) and Medicago truncatula (MTH1). The alignment was performed using ClustalW and visualized in JalView. The black boxes are the conserved sequences of phosphomethylpyrimidine kinase domain and blue boxes the conserved sequences of thiamin monophosphate synthase domain. Expression profile in (b) shoot and root, (c) seedling, (d) inflorescence and (e) seed organs of Arabidopsis gene TH1 (AT1522940) and OsTH1 (LOC_Os12g09000), according to Genevestigator data. The absolute expression values shown represent expression values of the gene in a sample. Error bars represent differences in the biological replicates.
