A Phylogram of the Phototropin Family of Blue Light Receptors. Clustal X (version 1.64b) was used to align the protein sequences. The family tree was obtained by the neighbor-joining method using 1000 bootstrap replicates and was visualized using TreeView (version 1.6.2). The scale represents 0.1 substitutions per site.
