Fig. 3From: Comparative genomics analysis of triatomines reveals common first line and inducible immunity-related genes and the absence of Imd canonical components among hemimetabolous arthropodsDefensin phylogenetic analysis. Maximum Likelihood cladogram of hemipteran defensins. Branch color indicates the different hemipteran species. Brown branches correspond to T. pallidipennis (TPAL), orange to T. dimidiata (TDIM), blue to T. infestans (TINF), pink to R. prolixus (RPRO) and red to C. lecticularis (CLEC). No defensin homologs were identified in A. pisum (ACPI). The black color branches correspond to genes encoding defensin A, B and C of RPRO (DefA-C-RPRO), defensin 1, 2, 3 and 4 of T. brasiliensis (TBRA) (Def1-4-TBRA) and defensin of TINF (Def-TINF) as well as defensin sequences of A. gambiae (Def-AGAM) and A. aegypti (Def-AAED) that were used as outgroups. The gray shading enclosing the branches represents the clusters formed. Branch labels show the bootstrap samples supporting that branchBack to article page
