Fig. 3: Chromosome-level relationships of select grass species.

The diagram shows the relationships of the chromosomes of the Chloridoideae species Oropetium thomaeum, Eragrostis tef and Eleusine coracana, and the Panicoideae species Sorghum bicolor and Panicum virgatum relative to the Ehrhartoideae species Oryza sativa. Chromosome fusions that occurred in the Chloridoid ancestor are shown with red arrows and in the Panicoid ancestor with black arrows. Chromosome fusions indicated in dotted lines are species-specific. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
