Abstract:Background: Plant genomes are rich in repetitive sequences, and Transposable Elements (TE, mobile fraction) are the most accumulated of them. This mobile fraction can be divided into Class I (retrotransposons) and Class II (transposons). Retrotransposons that are transposed using an intermediated RNA and accumulate in a “copy-and-paste” way have been screened in three completely sequenced genomes of peppers (Solanaceae family). The goal of this study was to understand the genome relationships among Capsicum a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
