From: The loss-of-function GLABROUS 3 mutation in cucumber is due to LTR-retrotransposon insertion in a class IV HD-ZIP transcription factor gene CsGL3 that is epistatic over CsGL1

Fig. 5

Predicted gene structure of the wild type (a) and mutant (b) alleles of CsGL3 candidate gene (HD-ZIP Class IV TF) and annotated 5005-bp LTR retrotransposon (c). Boxes and lines indicate exons and introns, respectively. There are 10 exons in the predicted gene, and the mutant allele is due to insertion of 5005-bp LTR-RT at the 4th exon (b). The LTR-RT is predicted to encode all protein domains required for active transposition (c). Boxes or lines are not drawn to scale
