Phylogenetic relationships of the RsMYB1 transcription factor (TF) with other MYB TFs that confer tolerance to various abiotic stresses. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the maximum likelihood method based on the Poisson correction model [1]. The tree with the highest log likelihood (–4439.60) is shown. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying neighbor-joining and BioNJ algorithms to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using a JTT model and then selecting the topology with superior log likelihood value. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 35 amino acid sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were 55 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA7 [2].
