Figure 5. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian gene trees showing relationships between CYCLOIDEA gene sequences from the Asteraceae.

Figure 5

(a) Maximum likelihood, and (b) Bayesian gene trees. Nucleotide sequences of the conserved TCP and R domains and the intervening sequence were used in the phylogenetic reconstructions. Inset depicts the relationships between the species investigated (according to Panero and Funk, 2008). CYC2 sequences were either PCR amplified from members of the Asteraceae (see Materials and Methods) or taken from Genbank (underlined). Previously published sequences are named according to the original publications. For genes isolated herein, species names are abbreviated as follows: Acicarpha (At), Berkheya (Bp), Callistephus (Cc), Dasyphyllum (Dd), Gazania (Gaz), Gerbera (Gh), Helianthus (Ha), and Senecio (Ss) and are named according to the subgroup (a, b, c, d, or e) in which they fall based on the sunflower paralog names. Loci playing a role in ray floret symmetry (refs [19], [20]; this study) are indicated in bold and denoted with an asterisk. Bootstrap values (a: 100 replicates) are shown where greater than 70%, and Posterior Probabilities (b) where greater than 0.95.
