Figure 2

Phylogenetic tree of the phenylalanine ammonia lyase gene family. The amino acid sequences are aligned and the maximum likelihood tree as constructed using the program PhyML 3.0. The numbers at the nodes are the bootstrap values (>50%) from the maximum likelihood (ML). The other BI and NJ trees are shown in Additional file 5, Figure 5(A) and Figure 5(B). The numbers associated with the branches are the ML bootstrap support values and posterior probabilities. NnPAL1 is marked with a red dot, and the dicotyledon and monocotyledon clades are marked with carmine and green dots, respectively. Three clades, gymnosperm I, gymnosperm II and gymnosperm III, of Pinus taeda are marked with light green, pink and blue dots, respectively.
