Phylogenetic tree of the NF-YA protein family. We include NF-YA proteins from A. thaliana (9 proteins), M. truncatula (9), L. japonicus (5) and G. max (21). Sequences of C. sativus (11), P. persica (6), M. domestica (4) and F. vesca (6) were retrieved using a BLAST-P search performed in phytozome and one sequence of D. glomerata (https://fido.nsc.liu.se/) [6]. In the present study, NF-YA tree comprises six groups: I to VI. CgNF-YA1 belongs to Group I. DgNF-YA (comp3430_c0_seq7) is in Group II. The tree was rooted with A. thaliana sequence AT3G37650.1 (NF-YB). One hundred bootstrap replications were used to evaluate statistical support for branches. Branches with less than 70% bootstrap support were collapsed.
