  1. ..., and sorghum chromosomes. Results AGK reconstruction Grass genomic synteny, exemplified by rice, sorghum, maize, and Brachypodium, representing three separate subfamilies of species and 8.53-fold genomic expansions, was analyzed using alignment parameters and statistical tests (see Methods) to identify...
  2. ...is the first finished cereal , the rice annotation will be used extensively in the annotation of genes in other cereals and grass species. As with other eukaryotic species, annotation of the rice was initiated using gene predictions from ab initio gene finders and further improved by using cDNA and expressed...
  3. ...rice, have permitted the alignment of genes derived from common ancestral grass chromosomes ( Swigonova et al. 2004 ). It appears that the two progenitors of maize and the progenitor of sorghum were n = 5 species that diverged about 11.9 million years ago (Mya). The two maize progenitors are believed...
  4. ...-Copy-Number Families in Rice Preliminary annotations of the rice suggest that LTR retrotransposons comprise ∼7.4% of rice chromosome 4 ( Feng et al. 2002 ). As numerous retroelements have not been identified yet, or have been inappropriately annotated, the fraction of LTR retrotransposons in the rice is likely...
  5. ...and is of great economic importance. Among the cereal grasses, rice has the smallest size (430 Mb) and, as revealed by comparative mapping, has substantial conservation of synteny with other cereal crops such as maize, sorghum, and wheat ( Gale and Devos 1998 ). Consequently, rice is an ideal representative...
  6. ...with the close evolutionary distance between them (50 million years ago, Mya), and, at the same time, with the evidence of rapid divergence within the grass family ( Song et al. 2002 ). Furthermore, because the homoeologous genes in rice were spread over the entire length of all 12 chromosomes (Supplemental Fig...
  7. ..., China. 6 ↵ 6 These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract By constructing nearly isogenic lines (NILs) that differ only at a single quantitative trait locus (QTL), we fine-mapped the yield-improving QTL qGY2–1 to a 102.9-kb region on rice chromosome 2. Comparison...
  8. ...( Oryza sativa ), a model system for grasses, has also shown collinearity with other monocots. In a 1.9-cM region of rice, five genes show interrupted collinearity with maize Chromosome 4 ( Tarchini et al. 2000 ). Moreover, three genes in the ∼20-kb Sh2–A1 region show complete collinearity with sorghum...
  9. ...to have been covered ( Dufour et al. 1997 ). Synteny with other grasses has been described based on genetic map comparisons done with common marker sets. Such comparisons have shown that collinearity between sugarcane and sorghum chromosomes is high ( Ming et al. 1998 ). A bacterial artificial chromosome...
  10. ...gene pairs. We predict the number of homologous regions and the extent of microcolinearity to increase significantly once better annotations of the rice become available. Comparative analysis has demonstrated that across different plant species, which diverged from a common ancestor but currently tend...
