Figure 1

Multiple independent losses of editing sites in Brassicaceae species. The cladogram represents a ML phylogenetic tree built from ndhB, ndhD, ndhG, rpoA, and clpP sequences. aLRT branch values greater than 50 are indicated at each node. Editing activity for an individual editing site is indicated by the filled shapes: ■ for ndhD C383;▲ for ndhB C836; and ▼ for ndhG C50. Empty shapes indicate a lineage where loss of editing activity of a C is the most parsimonious explanation for lack of editing in extant species. Empty shapes with an inset T signal a loss of editing activity due to C → T genomic mutation.
