Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of Cucurbitaceae MLO proteins. The tree, obtained by the Whelan and Goldman model, includes 37 Cucurbitaceae homologs harbouring at least 50 % of the MLO-Pfam domain and 24 reference MLO proteins already characterized in other species. Clades were numerated with the Roman numerals from I to VI, according to Devoto et al. 2003 [1] and based on the position of Arabidopsis and monocot MLO homologs. The tree was drawn to scale, with branch lengths proportional to the number of substitutions per site. Bootstrap values higher than 60 (out of 100 replicates), are indicated above the branches. Green boxes highlight seven putative orthologous groups (OG) of Cucurbitaceae MLO proteins with a bootstrap support ≥ 70, positioned in four (I, II, III and V) phylogenetic clades; red boxes indicate five orthologous pairs (OP) with bootstrap support ≥ 99
