Relationships between CACTA families and nonsyntenic genes. (A) Tree based on the clustering of the distribution patterns of 30 CACTA families found along the 3B chromosome. The branches represented in purple and green correspond to subtelomeric-prone CACTA families and centromeric-prone CACTA families, respectively. (B) Distribution of the 6 centromeric-prone CACTA families (top) and 22 subtelomeric-prone CACTA families (bottom) showing opposite patterns along the 3B chromosome sequence. The gray curves represent the distribution of individual families and the top purple or green curves represent the cumulative sum of all families. (C) Abundance of centromeric-prone (left panel) and subtelomeric-prone (right panel) CACTAs in the vicinity (±20 kb) of syntenic (blue) and non-syntenic genes (red), respectively. 0 represents the position of the coding sequences (start and stop codons) and the average abundance of CACTAs was calculated for each nucleotide in a -20/+20 kb window encompassing the coding sequences.
