The O-methyltransferase superfamily family with caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (COMT), pinosylvin O-methyltransferase (PMT), eugenol O-methyltransferase (EOMT), reticulin O-methyltransferase (ROMT), beta alanine N-methyl transferase (BANMT), and bergaptol O-methyltransferase (BOMT). A Unrooted maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree; Picgl, white spruce (P. glauca); Pinta, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda); Arath, Arabidopsis thaliana; Poptr, poplar (Populus tremuloides); Orysa, rice (Oryza sativa); Ammma, bullwort (Ammi majus); Limla, Limonium latifolium; Rosch, china rose (Rosa chinensis); Pinsy, scots pine (Pinus sylvestris); Papso, poppy (Papaver somniferum); Highlighted are functionally distinct clusters of COMT/OMT, with (I), (II), and (III) expanded in Figure 11, B; the scale bar represents 0.1 amino acid substitutions per site; asterisks indicate clades with bootstap confidence greater than 80% and the flash highlights functionally characterized genes. The red font indicates representation on the microarray. GenBank accession numbers are given in Additional File 14.
