Rhodelphis retain relic plastids including subunits of conserved plastid protein import complexes.

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees were generated for Rhodelphis plastid Cpn60, along with conserved subunits of plastid protein import complexes. The presence of plastid import complexes is strong evidence for the retention of plastids in Rhodelphis cells. Untrimmed and trimmed alignments used to generate the trees are also included.
