Figure 4.
Synonymous codon usage and selective pressures in the evolution. (A): Codon content of 20 amino acids and stop codons in all protein-coding genes of four S. japonicus chloroplast genome; (B): Distribution of codon preference in S. japonicus; (C): Ka/Ks values of protein-coding genes of the five comparative combinations. Note: in (A), the top panel shows the RSCU for the corresponding amino acids, and the colored blocks, which are shown below, represent different codons. In (C), Ka: nonsynonymous; Ks: synonymous.
