Microsynteny related to miR167 families in a) Arabidopsis; c) Populus ; e) grape; g) rice and reconstruction of the miRNA167 families evolution in b) Arabidopsis; d) Populus ; f) grape; h) rice. a, c, e, g: The genomic fragment is represented by a series of triangles that represent a gene in a family and its flanking genes. The genes in the same fragment show the same color except the gene in a family which is shaded by black triangle. The triangle also indicates gene's orientation on strands. The homologous genes on two fragments are connected by a gray line. b, d, f, h: These evolution relationship were generated to demonstrate the order of duplication events for the miR167 families in respective species. Black vertical line indicates tandem duplication. The orthologous miRNAs are classified into four orthologous groups designated as A, B, C and D, each of which is represented by the same color. Group D miRNAs are most ancient and the colinearity found between the group D and other groups are not significant, therefore, the group D is represented by a dashed line. In rice, miR167s out of the group D are designated as group A/B/C.
