Fig. 2.3 Comparative schematic representation of the
chromosome complement ofL. japonicus‘Miyakojima’
and‘Gifu’,L. burttii,L.filicaulis(modified from Hayashi
et al. 2001 ; Pedrosa et al. 2002 ; Sato et al. 2008 ), andL.
uliginosus. Approximated positions of rDNA sites, peri-
centromeric repeatLjcen1, and mapped TAC/BAC clones
are represented. TACs are visualized in red and BACs in
dark blue (thin blocks represent weaker signals inL.
uliginosus).Lotus uliginosuschromosomes 3 and 5 were
rotated (short arm down) to facilitate comparison. Phy-
logenetic relationships are based on Degtjareva et al.
( 2006 , 2008 ). The proposed rearrangements (Tl = translo-
cation, Tp = transposition, and Inv = inversion) are
indicated (Ferreira et al. 2012 )18 J. Ferreira and A. Pedrosa-Harand
