Fig 7. Hypothetical pictorial representation of horizontal gene transfer of NACHT NTPase genes in early green plants.

Fig 7

Probabe horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of NACHT NTPase from cyanobacterial ancestor to early green plant lineages. The NACHT NTPase occurs in all three major kingdoms of life that arose from single progenote and may have acquired in single-celled green alage (chlorophytes) through HGT from an ancestor of cyanobacteria (Nostoc sp.).
