Positions of MAPKKK members on the apple chromosomes. The number of the chromosome is indicated on the top of each chromosome. Scale represents that the distance is 10 Mb. In order to simplify the presentation, we named the putative MAPKKK genes on the basis of the categories and the gene’s order on the chromosomes from Chr1 to Chr17. The segmented and homologous blocks that were duplicated are showed with a blue shadow. Sister paralogous pairs are showed by a red line.
