Figure 4. The effect of the number of genes on the phylogenetic topology.

Figure 4

(a) percentages (y axis) of trees with the same topology as that in Fig. 3, when 20 trees were generated using the number (x axis) of randomly selected genes. The minimal number of genes required for 100% recovery of the (Chlor, Cerato), ((Chlor, Cerato), Eud) and (((Chlor, Cerato), Eud), Magnoliids) clades was 34, 40 and 48, respectively, as indicated by arrows. (b) A cladogram inferred by different numbers of ranked genes. Numbers associated with nodes are the bootstrap value (BS, above the line) obtained by RAxML and the posterior probability (PP, below the line) obtained by MrBayes with 55, 50, 46, 41, 33, 25 and 16 genes (right to left), respectively. BS of 100% or PP of 1.0 is indicated by asterisk. Chlor, Cerato, Eud, Magno, Mon and Out represent Chloranthaceae, Ceratophyllaceae, eudicots, magnoliids, monocots and outgroup, respectively.
