Fig. 5.23 Phylogeny based on
a number of chloroplast genes
(rRNA, psaA, psbA, tufA). The
names of the taxa have been
brought into conformity with the
nomenclature adopted here. The
Rhodobionta are closer to
Chromalveolata than
Chlorobionta, while in the tree
of eukaryotes based on nuclear
genes (Fig. 5.20), it is the
opposite (Modified and redrawn
from Bhattacharya et al. 2003)
