FIGURE 1.
Evolutionary constraints of AR formation. rbcL nucleotide sequences from 34 representative plant species where AR formation has been experimentally described were retrieved from NCBI (Supplementary Dataset) and aligned by the ClustalW algorithm with MEGA-X (Kumar et al., 2018). The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been used here as an outgroup. The consensus phylogenetic tree was inferred by using the maximum likelihood (ML) method and Jones-Taylor-Thornton (JTT) model from 500 bootstrap replicates. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test are shown next to the branches. Some details of their AR system of each species are provided next to the species name.
