A Comparative analysis of the kinetochore protein sequences in Cha. luteum, Chi. japonica, Heloniopsis orientalis and Phoenix dactylifera. The monocentric species H. orientalis, a species from the closely related tribe Heloniadeae, and P. dactylifera, a phylogenetically distant monocotyledon, were included for comparison. B Simplified schematic illustration of kinetochore structure and centromere organization in the chromosomes of Chi. japonica (left) and Cha. luteum (right). Proteins or complexes containing proteins that have changed or were lost in Cha. luteum or Chi. japonica are highlighted in blue or red. Sequence information of the analyzed kinetochore proteins is in Supplementary Table 5. The figure was adapted from Neumann et al.19.
