From: Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes of maize CMS-S subtypes provides new insights into male sterility stability

Fig. 2

Graphical genome maps display major difference between CMS-Sa and CMS-Sb. Both genomes have identical sequence of 4.2-kb repeat regions that contains the sterilizing gene orf355. The second copy of 17-kb repeat of CMS-Sb lost 3.3-kb sequence, leading to the elimination of one copy of first exon of nad1. Yellow rectangles represent coding region of nad1. Repeat regions sequences were labeled in brown color
