FIGURE 4.

Evolution of one PC clade in poplar. (A) Phylogenetic relationships and intron insertion; (B) Hypothetical origins of eleven poplar PC genes by retroposition and tandem duplication. The letters “R” and “T” indicate the positions where retroposition and tandem duplication have occurred, respectively. Bright green vertical line represents conserved 1 phase intron insertion position in PCLD as shown in Supplementary Figure S1.
