Fig. 1From: Genome-wide expansion and reorganization during grass evolution: from 30 Mb chromosomes in rice and Brachypodium to 550 Mb in AvenaDeep syntenic relationship of Oryza sativa (OSA), Avena longiglumis (ALO), and Brachypodium distachyon (BDI) chromosomes, drawn to scale, showing detailed conservation of syntenic blocks and the genomic expansion between OSA (x = 12; 373 Mb), BDI (x = 5; 271 Mb) and ALO (x = 7; 3,850 Mb). A Syntenic analysis of OSA (top), ALO (middle), and BDI (bottom). Subterminal regions are frequently involved in interspecific evolutionary translocations. B Syntenic analyses of chromosomes OS06-AL05-BD03 (top) and OS08-AL05-BD03 (bottom). C Dotplots (not to scale) of OSA-ALO (left) and BDI-ALO (right) genomesBack to article page
