Note: The best-fit model is highlighted in bold. Asterisks indicate significant likelihood ratio tests (LRT) against the null model after Bonferroni correction. Two hypotheses of potential enzyme adaptation were tested for each scenario, the first assuming a shift in selective pressure only in the basal branch(es) of the group specified (‘Basal branch’), the second assuming a sustained shift from the basal branch including all descendant branches (‘Sustained’). Missing values correspond to trees in which Andropogoneae was not monophyletic.

Inline graphicDelta-AIC values relative to the best-fit model for each gene are shown.
