Synteny analysis of heavy-metal-associated genes between rice and Brachypodium distachyon, Oryza brachyantha, Triticum aestivum, Setaria italica, and Zea mays. Gray lines in the background indicate the collinear blocks within rice and other plant genomes, while the orange lines highlight the syntenic OsHMP gene pairs. The species names with the prefixes “O. sativa,” “B. distachyon,” “O. brachyantha,” “T. aestivum,” “Setaria italica,” and “Z. mays” indicate Oryza sativa, Brachypodium distachyon, Oryza brachyantha, Triticum aestivum, Setaria italica, and Zea mays, respectively. Different color bars represent the chromosomes of different species. The chromosome number is labeled at the top or bottom of each chromosome.
