Phylogenetic relationship and collinearity analysis were conducted between the YSL protein of Zea mays and the YSL proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa. (A) A phylogenetic analysis of YSL proteins in maize (ZmYSL), Arabidopsis (AtYSL), and rice (OsYSL) was performed using MEGA10.0 and the neighbor-joining (NJ) method. A bootstrap test of 1,000 replicates was used for internal branch reliability; the scale bar represents the difference in site ratio (p-distance). (B) A collinearity analysis was performed on the YSL family in maize, rice, and Arabidopsis. The chromosomes of maize, rice, and Arabidopsis are marked by orange, green, and yellow boxes, respectively. The collinear relationship of rice with maize and Arabidopsis is indicated by orange and green lines, respectively. (C) Collinearity analysis of YSL family in maize B73 and Teosinte. The chromosomes of maize B73 and Teosinte are shown in purple and pink boxes, respectively. The collinearity and corresponding gene ID are shown in the same color
