Abstract excerpt
Using universal PCR primers, some 80 fragments of retroelement reverse transcriptase genes were isolated from 16 accessions of the three diploid and three derived allotetraploid species of Brassica in the triangle of U. Sequence analysis showed that the Ty1/copia and LINE-like elements were distinct, while a third clade could be sub-divided into Ty3/gypsy, Athila and virus-like branches, providing evidence that...
