From: Comparative mitogenomics indicates respiratory competence in parasitic Viscum despite loss of complex I and extreme sequence divergence, and reveals horizontal gene transfer and remarkable variation in genome size

Fig. 1

Viscum genes are extremely divergent relative to genes of other angiosperms with sequenced mitogenomes (see Fig. 3 for comparison to two divergent angiosperms, Plantago and Pelargonium, for which only a few gene sequences are available). A constrained topology was enforced for maximum likelihood (RAxML, GTRGAMMA) branch-length estimation on the basis of a concatenated alignment of all three codon positions of the nine best-conserved protein genes in Viscum scurruloideum (atp1, atp6, atp9, ccmC, cob, cox1, cox2, cox3, rps12; see [2])
