a, Evidence for two strata. For Ks, points above 0.06 were excluded. b,c, The repeat landscapes of the Amborella haplotypes 1 (b) and 2 (c) indicate similar patterns of expansion and minimal evidence of recent TE proliferation. Relative time was determined using the Kimura substitution level, with lower values closer to 0 representing more recent events and higher values approaching 40 representing older events. DTT, Tc1 Mariner terminal inverted repeat transposon; DTC, CACTA terminal inverted repeat transposon; LINE, long interspersed nuclear element; MITE miniature inverted-repeat transposable element.
