The Transcriptome of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) Male Reproductive Organs
Figure 3
(A) Neighbor-joining tree of putative β-defensins: L. longipalpis 1 (BAR005E03/AM091821, male reproductive organs and whole female cDNA libraries), L. longipalpis 2 (EU124626, midgut female library) and L. longipalpis 3 (EX211140, midgut female library), A. aegypti (AEL009861), A. gambiae (AGAP007049), D. melanogaster (CG10433), and B. mori (NP_001106745). Bootstrap percentage values indicated in nodes are based on 1000 replicates. (B) Multiple alignment of putative β-defensin of male reproductive tracts from L. longipalpis and its orthologues in Diptera. Conserved amino acids are indicated by (*).
