a A co-occurrence plot for the presence of orthologs for the seven proteins of the C1 pathway from representative species (see Fig. 6). Similarity between orthologous proteins is represented by color with a color scale ranging from white (low similarity) to black (high similarity) (see scale bar). A white box indicates that the sequence was detected or reported in literature but did not belong to the same orthogroup whereas a lack of a box indicates that the ortholog was not detected. Asterisk highlights P. trichocarpa. b Phylogenetic tree of methionine synthase (MS) sequences from representative species. This tree is based on 76 amino acid sequences from 22 species and constructed using the maximum likelihood method (see Supplementary Data 2 for species and sequences). Sequences with predicted chloroplast localization based on transit peptide prediction have a green circle at the edge of the nodes. Asterisk indicates nodes of P. trichocarpa MS sequences. Bootstrap values (percentage of 1000 bootstraps) for selected nodes are indicated at the branch point.
