Figure 5.

Plastid targeted solute transporters of 'Other' or 'Plantae-specific' origin in Plantae. For details of tree building see Figure 2. The filled magenta circle shows the node that unites the Plantae taxa. The different algal groups are shown in different text colors: red for red algae, green for green algae and land plants, magenta for glaucophytes, 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 different transporters are: (a) transporter in the 'Other' category: putative membrane protein; and (b) transporter in the 'Plantae-specific' category: hypothetical expressed protein. The name of the A. thaliana solute transporter used for the query is indicated for both trees shown in this figure.
