Phylogenetic relationship of PmAPX1 and PmAPX2 to predicted APX proteins of other photosynthetic taxa. Maximum likelihood relationships of PmAPX1 and PmAPX2 in relation to APX from plants and protozoans. Outgroups are the APX-like proteins of T. cruzi and A. nidulans. P. marinus lies firmly within the plastidic branch of tree, which is deeper than the branch between rhodophytes, alveolates and plastids. Bootstrap values are based on 100 replicates. Square brackets indicate monophyletic lineages. Curly brackets identify taxonomic groupings. Genbank numbers for proteins are as follows: Spinacia oleracaea 1, BAA12890; Spinacia oleracaea 2, BAA19611; Nicotiana tabacum, BAC10691; Oryza sativa 1, A2XFC7; Oryza sativa 2, Q9FE01; Oryza sativa 3, BAC79363; Oryza sativa 4, BAC79362; Pisum sativum, 1APX_A; Pyropia yezoensis, BAD16708; Galdieria partita, BAC41199; Trypanosoma cruzi, CAD30023; Aspergillus nidulans, XP_663044; Karlodinium micrum, DQ118600; Heterocapsa triquetra, AY826833
