Major types of retroelements. Overall organization of (A) a retrovirus, the avian leukosis
virus,(B) a retrotransposon, the yeast Tyl element, and (C) a non-LTR retroposon, the …

Several distinct DNA fragments were subcloned from a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) bacterial
artificial chromosome clone 13I16 that was derived from a centromere. Three fragments …

The origin of maize has been a topic of interest to both biologists and archaeologists. During
the twentieth century, the view point that maize is a domesticated form of teosinte received …

A linker PCR procedure has been developed for preparing repetitive DNA-free probes from
genomlc clones, which is especially efficient for members of gene families. Using this …

A new type of plant retroposon, p-SINE 1, has been found in the wx locus of rice (Oryza
sativa). It has some structural characteristics similar to those of mammalian SINEs, such as …

Distribution of wheat retrotransposon families (families 1 to 7) was examined in 11
Gramineae species by the use of representative reverse transcriptase domain clones …

We report the isolation and characterization of a copia-like retrotransposon, Panzee, from
pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan). The 4947-bp Panzee element is AT rich (60%) and the …

This book provides the biographies, and a related summary, of geneticists and breeders of
maize who have contributed to the major discoveries in the 20th century. Their relationships …

Nucleotide sequences similar to del1 retrotransposon from Lilium henryi have been
discovered in Zea diploperennis as a consequence of finding a Zea retrotransposon …
