Evolutionary relationships of plant ELF4. The evolutionary history of 39 ELF4 plant proteins was inferred using the neighbor-joining method. The bootstrap consensus tree inferred from 1000 replicates is taken to represent the evolutionary history of the taxa analyzed. Branches corresponding to partitions reproduced in less than 50% of bootstrap replicates are collapsed. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Poisson correction method and are in units of numbers of amino acid substitutions per site. All positions containing alignment gaps and missing data were eliminated only in pairwise sequence comparisons (pairwise deletion option). There were a total of 212 positions in the final dataset. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted with MEGA5 software (Tamura et al., 2011). The soybean ELF4 candidate gene (Glyma.18G027500) and the Arabidopsis ELF4 gene (AT2G40080) are highlighted in gray boxes.
