Species phylogeny of ten fully-sequenced plant species plus the two new caryophyllales with transcriptomic data. The phylogeny was based on the concatenation of 221 sets of one-to-one orthologous genes among the species used in this study. All aLRT branch support values were equal to 1.0 and, therefore, not shown in the tree. Different colour backgrounds highlights the relationships of the three main groups studied here: caryophyllales (light blue), asterids (Beige), and rosids (green). The placement of caryophyllales as basal to the branching of asterids and rosids was significantly more supported than an alternative placement as sister group of rosids.
