  1. aSee Additional file 1 for the sequence sources.
  2. bSee Figure 1 for the enzyme name abbreviations. The number of sequences found from each genome is shown. '-' indicates that no similar sequence was found.
  3. cThe amidase gene located close to the urea carboxylase gene (less than 6,250 bp) is indicated with +. See Additional file 2 for the distance between the genes.
  4. dBlastp similarity search against the downloaded rice genome showed no sequence similar to urease. However, similarity search against NCBI nr database found a sequence highly similar to urease from Oryza sativa.
