Figure 8

Phylogenetic analysis of an α-glucosidase with high conservation ratio. The first hit in the list of predicted AM-related proteins was an α-glucosidase (AES81209, Additional file 12: Table S4). The S. lycopersicum sequence was used to retrieve the closest homologues in a wide range of species (Additional file 1: File S1) for phylogenetic analysis. (a) Tree as in Figure 1 with the first hit per species identified at NCBI by blastp against non-redundant protein database using the tomato α-glucosidase (Solyc03g094020.2.1) as a query. (b) Tree with all homologues of Solyc03g094020.2.1 from tomato (S. lycopersicum), grape vine (V. vinifera), poplar (P. trichocarpa), M. truncatula, and A. thaliana. Note the AM-related branch (Gluc_1) that has no homologue from A. thaliana. The closest Arabidopsis homologue (At_Gluc_1) clusters far away.
