Additional file 1:

Global alignment of PPR-1, PPR-2, PPR-A, PPR-B, and PPR-C gene sequences. The alignment was performed on the Phylogeny.fr platform and edited with JALVIEW [69]. The residues are coloured according to percentage identity, from dark blue: 100% identity to white: less than 50% identity. The intron sequences determined from sequencing of RT-PCR products are shown in lower case.
