Fig. 3From: Genome wide characterization of simple sequence repeats in watermelon genome and their application in comparative mapping and genetic diversity analysisSyntenic relationships of watermelon with cucumber (a) and melon (b) chromosomes. Chromosome synteny between watermelon and cucumber is based on 821 cross-species markers (A); synteny between watermelon and melon is based on 850 cross-species markers. W1-W11 represent watermelon eleven chromosomes, C1-C7 represent cucumber seven chromosomes and I-XII represent melon twelve chromsomes. Syntenic blocks are connected by with the same colour lines from watermelon chromosomesBack to article page
