Comparison of gene organization in the genomic blocks ‘I’ and ‘L’ of A. thaliana, B. rapa and B. oleracea, as obtained from BRAD database (http://www.brassicadb.org/). Gene arrangement of B. rapa and B. oleracea syntenic orthologs of 25–30 representative A. thaliana genes flanking each side of (A) AtGPA1 within genomic block ‘I’, and (B) AtRGS1 within genomic block ‘L’. The syntenic position of AtGPA1 (At2g26300) and AtRGS1 (At3g26090) genes are marked within green boxes in (A) and (B), respectively. Syntenic genes shared between the three species are represented with black circle; Brassica lineage specific genes are marked with red circle showing their gene ID. The line nomenclature describes the ‘subgenome-genomic block-linkage group-Brassica species’.
