Comparative maps of several of theworld’s cereal crop species genomes. Note:The 12 chromosomes of rice, ten chromosomesof maize, and the basic seven chromosomesof the Triticeae, together with thegenomes of pearl millet, sorghum, and foxtailmillet, are aligned so that homoeologous(orthologous) loci lie on the same radius.The arrangement is simply the most parsimonious,requiring the fewest number of adjustmentsfrom the present-day chromosomelinear gene orders, and is not intended torepresent any genome as the most primitive.Evolutionary translocations and inversions,relative to rice, that have to be invoked areshown by the arrows. Chromosomal regionswhere the syntenic relationships are still notclear are hatched ( ). This is an extensionof the diagram first shown in Moore etal (1995) and modified from Gale and Devos(1998). For the additional detail of liguleless,waxy loci, etc., see text.
