Substitution rate variation among genes in Silene latifolia. Each bar represents the terminal branch length for S. latifolia based on a phylogenetic analysis of 18 land plant species with fully sequenced mitochondrial genomes. For protein genes, branch lengths were estimated in terms of non-synonymous substitutions (black bars) or synonymous substitutions (white bars) per site. For rRNA genes, branch lengths were estimated in terms of substitutions per site (gray bars). Error bars represent standard errors, which were calculated as described by Parkinson et al. [79].
