Schematic of homologous plant architecture (PA) genes in Brassica napus.
The colored blocks in the outermost circle represent the conserved Arabidopsis blocks in the B. napus genome identified through single-nucleotide polymorphism/simple sequence repeat (SNP/SSR) markers in the B. napus genetic linkage groups, which are represented by the second outer circle. The third circle represents the B. napus genome reconstructed with fragments of the homoeologous exchanges as defined by Chalhoub et al.27. The fourth circle represents the unique QTLs (quantitative trait loci). The inner circle represents 8 categories of PA genes [auxin/indole acetic acid (Aux/IAA), gibberellin (GA), cytokinin (CK), brassinosteroid (BR), strigolactone (SL), transcription factor (TF), cell cycle gene (CC) and other types of genes (Other)]. The lines connect the positions of the category name (in the inner circle) and the positions of genes in the B. napus genetic map (in the fourth circle) of the same category. The different categories are expressed with different color lines.
