Fig. 5

Cladogram of 65 flowering plants as in Fig. 4. Chloroplast RNA editing site accDeU923SL (or the accD gene altogether) is lost at least 14 times independently during angiosperm evolution (no plastome sequences are available for species marked with an asterisk). The loss of the accDeU923SL editing event is consistently accompanied by an apparent absence of RARE1 (black triangle) whereas RARE1 orthologues are always identified in the other taxa (Additional file 4)
