Figure 1. Presence of DcMP insertion variants in the plastid genome of Apiaceaeous species according to the reconstructed phylogeny.^15,16 (A) Yellow, red, orange and brown segments 1 to 4 represents the region of plastid (pt) DNA transferred from the mitochondrial genome (dubbed DcMP). It has likely been transferred in a single event with the present organization of the transferred sequences in the carrot mitochondrial genome depicted in (B); Green lines A and B denote conserved plastid sequences flanking the insertion; green line C represents the 339 nt region that have been deleted in the Scandiceae plastid genomes; thin black lines denote missing regions. (B) Blue lines denote mitochondrial sequences of carrot; colored segments represent the DcMP regions 1–4; dashed lines represent mtDNA segments separating regions 1–4. The scheme is not drawn to scale.
