Abstract excerpt
Ty1-copia retroelements have been found in all major plants and are largely responsible for the huge differences in the genome size. In this study we isolated and sequenced Ty1-copia reverse transcriptase (rt) gene fragments from 44 representative species of bamboo and nine cultivars or forms of Phyllostachys pubescens. Phylogenetic analysis of 72 distinct Ty1-copia rt sequences showed that Ty1-copia...
