Figure 5.

Plastid-related characteristics (A–D), origin of parasitism, and predicted losses of photosynthesis, plastid genomes, and plastid organelles were mapped on the updated phylogeny. The phylogeny is fully resolved except one branch where more support is needed (*1). Predicted core plastid anabolic capabilities, presence of plastid genomes, and transmission electron microscopy evidence (TEM) for multimembrane organelles corresponding to plastids by their size, appearance, and position within cells are shown on the right.
