Origin of 414 gene families potentially related to the evolution of hyphal MC, identified by ANOVA (P < 0.05). 114 families originated in BCZ nodes (shown in yellow), including known morphogenesis-related proteins (e.g. Bgt3, RgsB, Gel2 of A. fumigatus, Rax1, Bem1, Tpm1, and Dpp1 from S. cerevisiae, Dip1 from S. pombe) labeled as blue bars. Red numbers represent the number of gene families originated at the respective branches. Heatmap next to the tree shows the conservation of the identified 414 gene families across fungi. Blue and white colors indicate that the gene family is present or absent in the genome, respectively
