From: Genes encoding pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are not conserved in location in plant genomes and may be subject to diversifying selection

Figure 1

Predicted genes in Brassica and the syntenic segment of the Arabidopsis genome. Protein-coding sequences in the region of the Brassica genome represented in clone P2 (bottom) as predicted by Genscan. Dark filled arrows indicate PPR-encoding sequences. Protein-coding sequences in the Arabidopsis genome reflect the Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS) annotation. The direction of the arrows indicates the direction of transcription/translation. The connecting lines indicate orthologous coding regions in the two genomic sequences. Distances in megabasepairs in Arabidopsis are indicative of the location of sequences on chromosome 1. The PPR encoding gene in Brassica is asyntenic with respect to the Arabidopsis sequences shown here. In addition, it shares homology with Arabidopsis At1g12300, and not with its most closely linearly aligned partner At1g13040.
