FIGURE 6.
A comparison of the eight Lepidium linkage groups (LGs) and the five A. thaliana chromosomes (Atxs) forming three groups: (A) The LGs are shown in different colors whereas Atxs in brown; the numbers at the sides of the LGs and Atxs are map distance in centimorgan and sequence position in megabase pair, respectively, the text in light blue shows the map position of the homologs of genes known to regulate various traits in A. thaliana; gray and black regions within the LGs show regions lacking collinearity/matching sequences and mapped markers, respectively, deep blue lines connecting the LGs and Atxs show regions of high collinearity between them within the boundaries of the closest centimorgan (for LGs) and megabase pair (for Atxs); overlapping regions in collinearity are shown in square brackets. (B) The five Atxs displaying regions of collinearity with their corresponding LGs shown in different colors in (A); upward arrows show collinearity in the same direction, whereas downward arrows show collinearity in opposite direction as a result of inversion.
