Chromosomal syntenies of flanking regions of eudicotyledonous PRR genes. Syntenic relationships of flanking regions of PRR1/TOC1 (A), PRR5 (B), PRR3 (C), PRR7 (D) and PRR9/9l (E) were examined using the comparative genomic tool, CoGe [29]. Syntenic relationships within A. thaliana or P. trichocarpa were analyzed by a comparative genomic tool, CoGe, and according to previous studies [17,27,28,59]. Diamonds colored with black (A. thaliana), green (C. papaya), blue (P. trichocarpa) and red (V. vinifera) indicate individual genes. White diamonds marked with arrows indicate PRR genes. Genes with no syntenic matches on the selected regions are not plotted. Orthologous genes are connected by broken lines. Diamonds with characters on the right side of strands indicate angiosperm polyploidy event (α, β and salicoid). The salicoid polyploidy event is shown as the diamond with the initial letter of salicoid (S). The lengths of the genomic regions are shown on the left.
