Summary of Ks and Ka values among cp genomes of ten species. The rates of non-synonymous substitution (Ka) and synonymous substitution (Ks) of 79 conserved protein-coding sequences were calculated and averaged using KaKs calculator. The average Ks and Ka values are indicated by grey and dark blue bars, respectively. Black stars indicate the genes evolved under positive selection pressure with over 1 for the value of Ka/Ks ratios. Red stars indicate five conserved genes without variations and black triangles indicate two conserved genes without SNP but with 21 and 6 bp InDel variations in Araliaceae family.
