Fig. 2.

Phylogenetic tree generated by multi-dimensional scaling using 447 MSAP bands from accessions of five populations: Mt. Hermon, Amiad, Tabgha, Jaba and Mt. Amasa. Accessions TTD48, TTD32 and TTD16 were collected from Syria, Iran and Turkey, respectively, and were used as outsider controls in this analysis. The index (top right) indicates the collection site of each one of the 53 accessions. NCH, at the bottom of the phylogenetic tree indicates a negative control (water was used as a template in MSAP reaction). The black lines indicate significant separation, while red lines indicate insignificant separation. The level of epigenetic similarity is indicated on bottom. See Additional file 2: Figure S3 for more details on the statistical analysis
