Estimates of (log) genome-wide rate of recombination fitted to a phylogeny-corrected model for 81 higher plant species. Bars represent ± 1 S.E. confidence intervals. Species were classified according to their life-form (herbs, shrubs or trees) and considering angiosperm (Ang) and conifer trees separately. Significant differences in the logarithm of recombination rates between life forms are indicated with different letters.
