Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Ten horizontal transfers of five mitochondrial genes were detected.
- Association The ten transfers appear sequential as C. coccineum expanded east to west.
- Observation Chinese Sapindales, probably Nitraria, were the first transferred-gene source.
- Observation Iranian and Mediterranean Caryophyllales were subsequent transferred-gene sources.
- Observation The most recent transferred gene appears to derive from a Tamarix host in Iberia.
- Recommendation The authors call for whole-genome data from parasite-host pairs to assess transferred and native genes.
