TL;DR: Phylogenetic trees based on trpE (plasmid gene) and trpB (chromosomal genes) from eight species of aphids are congruent, indicating a lack of exchange of plasmids among endosymbionts from different aphid species.
Abstract: The aphid Uroleucon sonchi contains a prokaryotic endosymbiont (Buchnera) with plasmids having trpEG as well as remnants of trpE pseudogenes. In this respect it resembles Buchnera from the aphid Diuraphis noxia. Phylogenetic trees based on trpE (plasmid gene) and trpB (chromosomal genes) from eight species of aphids are congruent, indicating a lack of exchange of plasmids among endosymbionts from different aphid species.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Nonsynonymous rates for trpEG are accelerated within Buchnera of Uroleucon, indicating a change in selection intensity within this genus, and Synonymous substitutions are about twice as high for plasmid-borne genes as for chromosomal genes in the same lineages, suggesting higher mutation rates for genes on plasmids.
