Abstract excerpt
The Tpv2 family of transposable elements of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, belongs to the Ty1/copia group of long terminal repeat (LTR) containing retrotransposons. By reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR and by analysis of genomic clones, we characterized four of the approximately 40 copies present in the Phaseolus genome, and the genomic environment of their integration sites. Tpv2 integrated preferentially into...
