Identification of cassava eIF4E family homologues. (a) Phylogenetic relationships of cassava eIF4E family with A. thaliana, At, eIF4E family inferred by the Maximum Likelihood method (Le and Gascuel, 2008). The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. Tree is rooted to Homo sapiens, Hs, eIF4E‐3. (b) Percent identity matrix of cassava eIF4E family with At eIF4E family using amino acid sequences. (c) Descriptions of cassava eIF4E family based upon phylogenetic relationships and percent identity matrix.
