Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSIONS: While two lineages of retrotransposons were more abundant in larger Passiflora genomes, the satellitome was more diverse and abundant in the smallest genome analysed. Repetitive sequences are ubiquitous and fast-evolving elements responsible for size variation and large-scale organization of plant genomes. Within Passiflora genus, a tenfold variation in genome size, not attributed to polyploidy,...
