aDoes not include ORFs inside introns
bDoes not include introns and ORFs inside introns, but includes tRNAs and rRNAs
cSince the annotation of the H. lacustris plastome available in the respective GenBank record is highly incomplete, the values presented are based on a reannotation obtained using MFannot (with a genetic code translating UGA as Trp, based on the insights of [10])
