Figure 1: Phylogenetic analysis of flax aquaporins (AQPs) with rice. Arabidopsis and Populus.

16 PIPs, 17 TIPs, 13 NIPs, 2 SIPs and 3 XIPs were identified in flax genome and all the 51 AQPs grouped into five different classes such as PIPs, TIPs, NIPs, SIPs, and XIPs. The genes from rice, Arabidopsis, Solanum, Lotus, and Populus are indicated with the prefixes Os, At, Sl, Lj, and Pt respectively.
