Schematic Representation of the Sequence Relationship among Maize Inbreds B73, Mo17, and McC at the bz1 Locus on Chromosome 9S (Bin 9.02) (Modified from Fu and Dooner, 2002).

Dashed green lines indicate the shared sequence between all three inbred lines. Dashed gray and orange lines indicate the shared sequence regions between the inbreds B73 and Mo17 and between Mo17 and McC, respectively. Inserted and deleted regions are connected via dashed lines. The LTR-retrotransposons unique to McC or Mo17 and/or B73 are represented by different colored boxes, which are also drawn in a different width if nested, with their positions of insertion indicated by dotted arrows. Retrotransposon boxes contain labels, which are cross-referenced to the tables, and the insertion times in Myr based on LTR sequence divergence (Ma and Bennetzen, 2004a). Genes are represented as black pentagons. The location of exons 7 and 8 and intron 7 of gene hypro3 is labeled with a red line.
