Fig 6. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Pandanales and its closely related orders.

The tree was constructed with 58 protein sequences presented in 116 species using the Maximum Likelihood method and implemented in RAxML with Nicotiana tabacum and Solanum lycopersicum serving as the outgroups. The numbers associated with the nodes indicate bootstrap values tested with 1000 replicates. The orders and families to which each species belongs are marked beside the branches as well as the occurrence of gene loss events.
