Figure 3

Distribution of introns in Oedogonium and other UTC algal cpDNAs. Circles denote the presence of group I introns and squares denote the presence of group II introns. Divided squares represent trans-spliced group II introns. Open symbols denote the absence of intron ORFs, whereas filled symbols denote their presence. Intron insertion sites are designated as indicated in Table 4. The column at the extreme right indicates the introns of Chlamydomonas species other than C. reinhardtii that are known to have homologues in completely sequenced UTC algal genomes. References for the latter introns are as follows: psaB [70]; psbA [71]; psbC [70]; rrs [72]; and rrl [73-76]. An asterisk denotes the absence of the ORF in some Chlamydomonas species.
