Comparison of evolutionary rates between gene groups in Geraniales and Brassicales. Ger, gene groups are from Geraniales; Bra, gene groups are from Brassicales; NUCP, nuclear encoded plastid targeted control genes; NUMT, nuclear encoded mitochondrial targeted control genes; NUOT, other nuclear encoded control genes; RRR, plastid-targeted DNA replication, recombination and repair genes; plastid, plastid-encoded genes. Boxes represent sorted rates ranging from 25% to 75%, dashed lines extend to maximal and minimal rates, red lines represent the median rate of each gene group. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001.
