Differences between 3D1 and 3D7 in Zmr1 regulatory sequences. a Alignment of the nucleotide sequences 1862 bp upstream of the coding sequence of Zmr1 in 3D1 and 3D7. Vertical pink bars indicate the 12 SNPs in the promoter region. b Synteny plot of the QTL between 3D1 and 3D7 showing the insertion of an island of transposable elements 1.8 kb upstream of the start codon of Zmr1 in the lighter strain 3D1. Brown lines indicate collinear sequences. The positions of genes and transposable elements are shown using purple arrows and blue bars, respectively. Vertical yellow lines indicate simple repeats. The different shades of blue represent different classes of transposable elements that were classified according to the three-letter code described in Wicker et al. [100]. The first letter indicates the class (R = RNA class and D = DNA class), the second letter indicates the order (L = LTR, I = Line, T= TIR), and the third letter indicates the superfamily (G = Gypsy, I = I, X = unknown)
