Comparison of amino acid sequence identity percentage between different allergens. Bar colors highlight the plant source of allergens, namely green, brown, yellow, red and light grey are for pollen, seed, fruit, root and latex, respectively. The similarity searches were performed with the Allergome Aligner tool, using the Blast algorithm on the Allergome platform (https://www.allergome.org). The amino acid sequence of Bet v 1.0101 (b and c), Bet v 2.0101 (a) and Cry j GRP (d) were used as query sequences. The allergens shown in a and b were selected as representative of the large number of homologs found in the database. When many homologs were found, that giving the highest identity with the query sequence was selected and shown in the figure. c represents a representative selection of Bet v 1 isoallergens/isoforms found in the Allergome database. The sequence identity values of GRP (d) were obtained with the algorithm CLUSTALO on the Uniprot website (https://www.uniprot.org) and they are referred to mature proteins lacking the signal peptide. Cup s 7 was not included because its complete sequence was not available. Additional details on the allergens shown in the Figure are reported in Additional file 1: Tables S1, S2, S3 and S4
