Microsynteny analysis of the TaGGP genes from bread wheat cv. Chinese Spring. (a) TaGGP1 and (b) TaGGP2 homoeologous SRs on chromosomal groups 5 and 4, respectively. Syntenic genes are represented by arrow colour. The orientation of the genes is indicated by the direction of the arrows. The physical length (Mbp) of each of the TaGGP SRs is provided for each chromosome. The physical position (Mbp) of the TaGGP genes and the centromeres (black oval) are also presented. The physical distance (Mbp) between the proximal gene of the SR and the respective centromere (black dotted line) is 58.2, 22.2 and 4.4 for the TaGGP1-A, TaGGP1-B, and TaGGP1-D SRs, respectively, and 127.5, 203.8 and 104.6 for the TaGGP2-A, TaGGP2-B, and TaGGP2-D SRs, respectively. The list of genes used in this analysis and their respective position and gene function are provided in Additional file 2: Table S1
