Phylogenetic tree of the ethylene-response factor (ERF) protein family. Three ERF proteins from C. sativus, P. persica, M. domestica and F. vesca each were retrieved using a BLAST-P search performed in phytozome and 2 sequences DgERN (comp6569_c0_seq1) and DgContig2454 (Contig2454) from D. glomerata (https://fido.nsc.liu.se/) [6]. We also include 74 ERF from A. thaliana, 4 from M. truncatula and 7 from L. japonicus. In italic, transcription factors C.glauca and A.glutinosa. The ERF family comprises ten groups referred as I to X. CgERF8 and DgERN are in Group V (red fat letters). They are closer to MtERN1 than MtERN2 and MtERN3. The tree was rooted to APETALA2 AP2-domain R1 (At4g36920). One hundred bootstrap replications were used to evaluate statistical support for branches. Branches with less than 70% bootstrap support were collapsed.
