FIG. 2.

Microsynteny near the ppg2 gene among different ascomycete species. The putative ppg2 gene of G. zeae (Gz) was between FG07457 (ebp2 homolog) and FG07458 (cyanate lyase homolog) in contig 1.310 of the Fusarium genome database developed by the Broad Institute. In the other fungal species (Mg, M. grisea; Nc, N. crassa), the ppg2 gene was between homologs of ebp2 and cyanate lyase. Note that the names for the ppg2 gene are different in these three fungal species. In the F. verticilloides (Fv) genomic sequence, a putative ppg2 homolog was found downstream of cyanate lyase but these two genes were inverted relative to the ebp2 homolog in the other fungi.
