Identification of VRS3. a The refined genetic mapping interval of the vrs3 locus showing the number of recombinants between each marker. b Conserved synteny between orthologous regions on the physical maps of rice chromosome 10 and barley chromosome 1H within the genetic mapping interval. Rice gene models are shown in dark blue and barley in red. The yellow square represents the VRS3 gene candidate. c VRS3 gene model with regions encoding three putative functional domains JmjN (pink), JmjC (turquoise) and C5HC2 zinc-finger (orange). The 5′ and 3′untranslated regions are shown in pale grey. Positions of the mutant alleles are relative to the start codon (ATG). Allele colours represent the respective genetic background of the induced mutation: turquoise (Bonus), green (Hakata 2), dark blue (Hege), red (Foma), and purple (Kristina). Types of mutation are coded as: > non-synonymous substitution, *premature stop, FS, frameshift, SS, splice site
