Schematic representation of the mitochondrial genomic region surrounding COX1 and the borders of intron homing in 10 of the 30 diploid fusants with the CαNa mitochondrial genotypes. The arrows show the regions of integration borders. All the borders are located either within the COX1 gene or within the intergenic region between COX1 and two other genes (between ATP9 and COX1 for the left border and between COX1 and ATP8 for the right border), close to COX1 translation initiation and termination sites. Arrow “a” shows the left borders of two strains (OYZ1 and YZ151); arrow “b”, the left borders of two strains (YZ150 and YZ153); arrow “c”, the left borders of two strains (OYZ2 and YZ159); and arrow “d”, the left borders of four strains (YZ152, YZ155, YZ158 and YZ160). Arrow “e” points to the right borders of two strains (YZ159 and YZ160); arrow “f”, the right border of strain YZ158; arrow “g”, the right border of the remaining seven strains (OYZ1, OYZ2, YZ150, YZ151, YZ152, YZ153 and YZ155)
