Figure 2.

The genome assignment of the new OsPAO6 transcript. The upper figure is derived from the NCBI information. The provisional assignment indicates that OsPAO6 is consisting of 12 exons and 11 introns, whereas the newly isolated OsPAO6 is consisting of 9 exons and 8 introns. The E2 to E9 totally correspond to the old E5 to E12, respectively. White box and black box indicate the untranslated region and the coding region, respectively. The newly identified E1 corresponds to the region between the previous E4 and E5 which is highlighted by the dotted lines.
