Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plant genomes are rich in repetitive sequences, and transposable elements (TEs) are the most accumulated of them. This mobile fraction can be distinguished as Class I (retrotransposons) and Class II (transposons). Retrotransposons that are transposed using an intermediate RNA and that accumulate in a "copy-and-paste" manner were screened in three genomes of peppers (Solanaceae). The present study...
