  abstract = {{G}enome evolution rates can vary considerably among plants. {I}n particular, a correlation has often been reported between the evolution rate and annual/perennial habit, possibly associated with differences in generation time. {F}or example, among the rosid species whose genome is fully sequenced, {V}itis vinifera, a perennial species, was shown to have the genome that evolved the slowest. {I}n order to extend knowledge of evolution rates to the asterid clade, one of the two major clades of core eudicotyledonous, the protein evolution rates in three asterid species, one perennial ({C}offea canephora) and two annual species ({S}olanum lycopersicum and {M}imulus guttatus), were investigated and compared with {V}. vinifera. {S}ignificant differences were observed among these species, and the proteins that evolved the most slowly were those of {V}. vinifera. {A}mong the species belonging to the asterid clade, {C}. canephora appears to have evolved more slowly than the others. {T}hese findings are consistent with a correlation between perennial habit and slow evolution rates. {T}he {C}. canephora genome seems to be an appropriate model for paleogenomic studies of asterids.},
