The distribution of nine P.dactylifera chloroplast-derived mt regions in five known plant mt-genomes.

We selected homologous sequences with identity >70% and length coverage >90% for the comparative analysis. The results for two dicots (Arabidopsis and Vitis) and three monocots (Bambusa, Oryza, and Zea) are listed here. The presence (+) and absence (−) of the corresponding cp regions are indicated based on identity and length coverage. Only the genus names are used for the reference mt genomes.aThe sequence identity between the cp sequence insertions in P. dactylifera mt genome and their cp homologs.bThe GC content of the cp-derived sequences in P. dactylifera mt genome.
