Characteristics of the sunflower imprinted transcripts. A Distribution of the sunflower all genes (outer, blue), PEGs (middle, green) and MEGs (inner, red) along each chromosome. B One 1.17 Mb region (Chr10: 43,606,694 bp – 44,773,331 bp) were shown. The region including one MEG, two PEGs, five non-imprinted genes and 31 non-analyzed genes. The black rectangle represent the location of these 39 genes within cluster. The expression of one MEG (HanXRQr2_Chr11g0506811) and two PEGs (HanXRQr2_Chr11g0506781 and HanXRQr2_Chr11g0507231) were shown. The expression level of transcribed regions is shown in green for SY1 and YS1; The percentages of allelic reads of three imprinted genes for specific SNP sites are shown, with red lines for the paternal allele and blue lines for the maternal allele; Black rectangle, exon; black line, intron
