From: Host origin of plastid solute transporters in the first photosynthetic eukaryotes

Figure 2

Plastid targeted solute transporters of putative 'Host' origin in Plantae. These are RAxML trees with the numbers above the branches inferred from a RAxML bootstrap analysis and the thick branches showing significant (P > 0.95) support from a Bayesian phylogenetic inference. Only bootstrap values ≥ 60% are shown. Branch lengths are proportional to the number of substitutions per site (see scale bars). The filled magenta circle shows the node that unites the Plantae taxa within the eukaryotic domain. The different algal groups are shown in different text colors: red for red algae, green for green algae and land plants, and brown for chromalveolates. The inclusion of chromalveolates within the Plantae is believed to reflect horizontal or endosymbiotic gene transfer events (for example, [50]). The two transporters are: (a) SAMT, S-adenosylmethionine carrier 1 protein; and (b) AtFOLT1, Arabidopsis thaliana folate transporter 1. The name of the A. thaliana solute transporter used for the query is indicated for both trees shown in this figure.
