Fig. 2

Reconstruction of ancestral chromosomes for the six species showing conservation of major syntenic blocks from the ancestral grass karyotype (AGK), with fusions and insertions leading to the reduced chromosome numbers (some are upside down to display features of evolutionary conservation). Genes from the ancestral linkage groups are indicated by different colors, with pairs of similar colors representing the pre-ρ whole-genome duplication (WGD)
