a Group I introns were classified according to Michel and Westhof [48].

b L followed by a number refers to the loop extending the base-paired region identified by the number.

c The letter in parentheses denotes the chlorophyte lineage comprising the green alga indicated: U, Ulvophyceae; T, Trebouxiophyceae; C, Chlorophyceae.

d The intron number is given when more than one intron is present.
