Similarity shared between Spartina alterniflora transcriptome and rice genome v7.1. Sa, Spartina alterniflora; Os, individual rice chromosomes (different color boxes). Numbers outside the boxes along Os represent the size in megabase (Mbp). Syntenic blocks between Sa and Os are connected by ribbons and highlighted along the Os in purple color. Heatmap representing differential regulation of genes (yellow- upregulated and blue- downregulated) is shown on Sa transcriptome. The gene density of Sa transcripts on rice is shown by histogram
