Figure 8From: Comparative mapping in the Poaceae family reveals translocations in the complex polyploid genome of sugarcaneModel for the structural evolution of the sugarcane monoploid genome (modified from [[26]]). As in [[26]] the ancestral chromosomes are colour coded to represent the original 5 chromosomes (and labelled A1-12) which after a whole genome duplication (~90 MYA) and breakage/fusion formed the 12 ancestral chromosomes of sorghum.Back to article page
