Phylogenetic analysis and expression patterns of CAD and COMT. (A,B) Unrooted phylogenetic tree of B. distachyon CAD and COMT families and characterized proteins from other grasses. A multiple amino acid sequence alignment was performed with ClustalW and the phenogram was constructed with MEGA neighbor-joining method with 1000 bootstrap permutations. (C,D) Anatomical gene expression in leaf (blue), root (red), and stem (green) of CAD and COMT families in B. distachyon.
