Conserved Microsynteny of NPR1 with Genes Encoding a Signal Calmodulin-Binding Protein and a CK1-Class Protein Kinase in Beta vulgaris and Two Other Eudicots

Figure 1

Schematic representation of genes annotated on the 130 Kb genomic NPR1-carrying BAC from sugarbeet (GenBank accession EF101866) based on FGENESH, GenScan, GeneMark, and GRAIL gene finders as well as SMART and Motif Peptide Scan results. (Blue: core plant genes involved with nuclear events/signal transduction/defense; yellow: transposon; orange: retrotransposons; red: encode only hypothetical or unknown proteins). The predicted genes begin with a bar and end with an arrowhead, thus indicating the direction of transcription.
