Abstract excerpt
About 90 members of a major tandemly repeated DNA sequence family originally described in rye as pSc119.2 have been isolated from 11 diploid and polyploid Triticeae species using primers from along the length of the sequence for PCR amplification. Alignment and similarity analysis showed that the 120-bp repeat unit family is diverse with single nucleotide changes and few insertions and deletions occurring...
