Figure 1

The ubiquitin and ERF gene families in soybean. (a) Phylogenetic tree of soybean ubiquitin genes constructed using the amino acid sequences of 25 genes containing at least one ubiquitin-coding unit (Additional file 1. (b) Phylogenetic tree of soybean ERF genes constructed using the predicted amino acid sequences of the AP2/ERF domain of 359 ERF proteins (Additional file 2). Eleven ERF subgroups and the AP2 family genes are shown. Red lines divide the three major subfamilies. The amino acid sequences were aligned by Clustal W and the phylogenetic trees were constructed using MEGA 4.0 and the Neighbor-Joining method. The genes used for promoter isolation are shown with red circles.
