Abstract excerpt
Grapevine retrotransposons belonging to the Tvv1 family share a single, highly conserved open reading frame but differ by their untranslated leader (UTL) region, which is highly variable in size. Amplification of the UTL region of Tvv1 elements from 94 Vitaceae accessions reveals that each of them shows a unique pattern of UTL-derived bands, which is inherited in progenies but conserved between clones...
