Description
Abstract. -- Computer search algorithms for Pinus taeda cDNA sequences revealed that 20 of 41 Pinus taeda cDNA sequences had conserved homology to angiosperms, animals and/or other conifers. Ten of the 20 homologous sequences coded for highly conserved amino acid products among conifers, flowering plants and animals. Among the 20 homologous sequences, there were 12 highly conserved query sequences. These sequences coded for DNA replication, RNA-binding protein, glycolysis and photosynthesis. A total of 34 plant species were identified with homologies to P. taeda cDNA sequences. Of these families, one family of conifers and one family of monocots were represented in the matches to P. taeda. The remaining 16 families were dicots. Using nucleotide sequences to infer evolutionary relationships among plants will improve as more plant genomic sequences drawn from a wider taxonomic spectrum are added to public databases. **********
