—Chlorophyll content of three laurels and comparison of nucleotide substitution rates between plastid house-keeping (HK) and photosynthetic (PS) genes across the 20 basal angiosperms. (a) Estimated chlorophyll content in fresh leaves of Cryptocarya chinensis and Cinnamomum camphora and in green and brown tissues of Cassytha filiformis. Red asterisks indicate significantly lower content in Cas. filiformis than in Cry. chinensis and Cin. camphora (P < 0.001, Student’s t-test). Regression analysis of HK versus PS genes for dN (b) and dS (c), respectively. (d) Comparison of the dN/dS values between HK and PS genes. The dashed line indicates that HK and PS genes have the same dN/dS values. Cas, Cas. filiformis; Cry, Cry. chinensis; Cin, Cin. camphora.
