Chromosomal location of rice MADS-box genes. 75 MADS-box genes have been mapped on rice chromosomes according to 5' and 3' coordinates mentioned in TIGR. Respective chromosome numbers are written at the top. Genes belonging to five groups have been marked by different colors (MIKCc, red; MIKC*, yellow; Mα, purple; Mβ, green and Mγ, blue). Genes lying on duplicated segments of genome have been joined by dashed lines. Tandemly duplicated genes are joined with vertical lines. (* The duplicated segment between chromosome 1 and 9 containing OsMADS65 and 8, respectively, could be detected only in segmental duplication database with 500 kb and not with 100 kb distance allowed between collinear genes in TIGR, for details see experimental procedures).
