Phylogenetic tree of lepidopteran VMPs.
The un-rooted maximum likelihood tree was calculated on the basis of a ClustalW alignment of VMPs from different lepidopteran species. Bootstrap values are given in percentages at the internodes; Accession numbers refer to the entries of the dbEST database of Butterflybase. MS, Manduca sexta; BM, Bombyx mori; TN, Trichopulsia ni; HA, Helicoverpa armigera; SF, Spodoptera frugiperda; PI, Plodia interpunctella.
