Sequencing and De Novo Assembly of the Transcriptome of the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis)
Figure 7
Phylogenic comparisons of juvenile hormone acid methyl transferase protein sequences of H. vitripennis and those other insect orders.
The evolutionary relatedness of juvenile hormone acid methyl transferase (JHAMT) of H. vitripennis with other insect JHAMT proteins is shown. The evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method. The bootstrap consensus tree inferred from 500 replicates is taken to represent the evolutionary history of the taxa analyzed. The right panel in the figure shows the RT-PCR gel picture validating the JHAMT transcript from H. vitripennis insects.
