Hi Brandon,

UCSC doesn't host any Arabidopsis data, so I can't help with the 
specifics, but I can point you to some info about chromosome naming 
schemes, like chrUn, etc. that you had a question about.

Here's some info in our FAQs: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download11

Also, head to the UCSC browser 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway) and from the drop-downs, 
select hg19 (if not already selected).  Then scroll down on the page to 
the section called "Chromosome naming scheme". That should answer your 
questions regarding "the later regions".
