Figure 2. Phylogenetic tree showing the evolutionary relationship and the homology degrees among the MYB amino acid sequences. The estimated genetic distance between sequences is in proportional to the lengths of the horizontal lines connecting one sequence to another. The sequences are of the following MYB transcription factors: Brassica napus (XP_013681390.1), Raphanus sativus (XP_0184687473.1), Gossypium hirsutum (XP_016694638.1), Nicotiana tomentosiformis (NP_001306786), Tarenaya hassleriana (XP_010551826.1), Camelina sativa (XP_010513542.1), Arabidopsis thaliana (NP_176813.1), Arabidopsis lyrata subsp. (XP_002887034.1), and Brassica oleracea (XP_013590812.1).
