Figure 1From: An analysis of synteny of Arachis with Lotus and Medicago sheds new light on the structure, stability and evolution of legume genomesA tree represention of the phylogeny of the Papilionoids with triangles representing the major clades, and the two subclades of the Galegoids; the Robinioids and the IRLC (plastid DNA Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade). Names of some notable genera are placed within the triangles. Note that Arachis which is a member of the Dalbergioids, represents a more basally diverged Papilionoid than the Galegoid legumes, and therefore serves as an out-group to a Lotus vs. Medicago comparison. The figure is a simplified and stylized phylogeny based on a tree in [2].Back to article page
