Figure 3: Phylogenetic relationship of 10 sequenced plant species and comparative gene analysis.
From: The genome of the recently domesticated crop plant sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)
Species tree based on maximum-likelihood analysis of a concatenated alignment of 110 widespread single-copy protein sequences (left). The upper bar per species (right with scale on the top) indicates the number of widespread genes that are found in at least 9 of the 10 species (green); eudicot-specific genes that are found in at least 7 of the 8 eudicot species (yellow); species-specific genes with no homologues in other species of this tree (light grey); and remaining genes (brown). The slim bars per species (scale on the bottom) represent the percentage of genes with at least one paralogue (blue) and the percentage of sugar beet genes that have homologues in a given species (pink), respectively.
