Fig. 1

Syntenic relationships between the resistance gene clusters in melon, cucumber and watermelon. Genes are represented by vertical lines, in blue if they are NBS-LRR genes. NBS-LRR clusters are highlighted in grey boxes. Red lines indicate syntenic regions. Direction of transcription of all genes is left to right, except for cucumber which has been reoriented for practical reasons. Chromosome 9 region from melon spans 221 kb from gene MELO3C022168 to MELO3C022141. In cucumber, the syntenic region in chr5 spans 176 kb, from gene Cucsa.237600 to Cucsa.237270 (right to left). Finally, the chromosome 8 region in watermelon (384 kb) includes genes from Cla012442 to Cla012422. The gap of 110 kb in watermelon (asterisk) is composed basically of Ns
