Figure 1 .

Organization of a 383-kbp chromosomal region of NK–198 deduced from two BAC clones and a cosmid clone. HindIII restriction sites are shown as triangles. Horizontal arrows indicate predicted genes and their orientation; intronic sequences are omitted. Gray arrows denote the absence of any homologous genes in the database, whereas blue and green arrows indicate the presence of homologous genes in other plants with or without functional assignment, respectively. Orange boxes represent transposable elements, and red boxes show their neighboring repeated sequences. Positions of five molecular markers that were described in Hagihara et al. (2005b) are indicated by vertical arrows.
