Extensive variation in evolutionary rate of rbcL gene sequences among seed plants.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Aug 1992

Bousquet J, Strauss S H, Doerksen A H, Price R A

Abstract excerpt

Extensive variation in synonymous and nonsynonymous rates of substitution was observed among 50 sequences of the gene coding for the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) representing bryophyte, conifer, dicot, and monocot taxa. Relative rate tests revealed rate differences of up to 138% for nonsynonymous substitutions and up to 85% for synonymous ones. Within angiosperms, the annual forms...
