Additional conserved synteny between Cotton and Arabidopsis α duplicates detected by merger of ancient duplicated cotton chromosomal segments of C05 and C09. Common markers between C05 and C09 were highlighted in red. The number in parenthesis after gene 1683 is the Arabidopsis chromosome. The additional conserved syntenic blocks from Arabidopsis were presented as vertical dashed bars in between segments of consensus cotton chromosomes C05 and C09. The corresponding loci (named per Fig. 2) were linked with lines, blue from C05 and green from C09. Solid and broken vertical lines beside the maps represent conserved syntenic regions detected with FISH and CS2, respectively, when C05 and C09 were individually analyzed for conserved synteny with Arabidopsis.
