Alignment of the rice, arabidopsis and wheat nsLTP sequences. The mature sequences of the 122 non-redundant wheat nsLTPs, the 49 rice nsLTPs, and the 45 arabidopsis nsLTPs were aligned using HMMalign and then manually refined. The phylogenetic tree was built from this protein alignment (fasta format).
