Abstract excerpt
A strategy was developed to isolate a complete gypsy-element from Gossypium hirsutum L. based on the sequence of a RAPD that was polymorphic in near isoganic lines of cotton that varied in leaf shape. A 5998 nt clone was isolated and its gene order and sequence confirmed it was a gypsy-type retroelement. Sequences homologous to the gag portion of this clone were also found in Gossypium herbaceum L. and Gossypium...
