a
Predicted genes belonging to transposable elements identified in this study or matching that deposited in the public databases.
b
All of these genes were found to have homologs in the Arabidopsis whole-genome database.
c
Genes were predicted only by gene-finding programs.
d
Two duplicated genes that were predicted to be derived from gene 12-1, a possible ortholog of sorghum gene 12.
