Maximum Likelihood phylogeny of the TM8-family in angiosperms with bootstrap support. BS support values are shown at major nodes when >50. SOC1 genes were used as outgroup (not shown here). In angiosperm orders lacking here, no TM8 orthologs could be identified from the databanks listed in the Methods. Complete phylogeny including all accession numbers is provided as Additional file 2
