Abstract excerpt
One of the causes of genome size expansion is considered to be amplification of retrotransposons. We determined nucleotide sequences of 24 PCR products for each of six retrotransposons in Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea. Phylogenetic trees of these sequences showed species-specific clades. We also sequenced STF7a homologs and Tto1 homologs, 24 PCR products each, in nine diploids and three allopolyploids, and...
