Figure 2

Schematic representation of sequence alignment for the GBSSI alleles. Nipponbare Wx sequence was used as reference. The position of the ATG is indicated with 0; negative numbers are referred to bp positions in the putative regulatory regions while positive numbers indicate bp positions in the coding region. Colour shade represents the different AAC classes from white corresponding to waxy to dark grey corresponding to high AAC. SNPs are symbolized by black bars, insertions by blue triangles and deletions by red crosses. Thick, intermediate and tight boxes indicate exons, 5′ and 3′ UTR and the promoter region, respectively. Lines between boxes represent introns.
