Aligned length are longer than the original sequence length because of the addition of the aligned gaps. Base variation is the base polymorphism excluding insertions or deletions. The controls of the intergenic region of atpF-atpH^a and the coding sequence of rbcL^b are also included. The duckweed species include S.polyrhiza (MN419335), L.minor (DQ400350), W.ligulata (JN160604) and W.australiana (JN160604)
