Cellular genes comprise at most 5% of the barley genome; the rest is occupied primarily by
retrotransposons. Retrotransposons move intracellularly by a replicative mechanism similar …

Retroviruses and LTR retrotransposons comprise two long-terminal repeats (LTRs)
bounding a central domain that encodes the products needed for reverse transcription …

BARE-1 is a highly abundant, copia-like, LTR (long terminal repeat) retrotransposon in the
genus Hordeum. The LTRs provide the promoter, terminator, and polyadenylation signals …

The replicative retrotransposon life cycle offers the potential for explosive increases in copy
number and consequent inflation of genome size. The BARE-1 retrotransposon family of …

Fifteen years later we still know nothing about the mechanisms underlying genome-
restructuring events in response to environmental cues. This is despite numerous studies …

A large fraction of the genomes of grasses, members of the family Graminae, is composed of
retrotransposons. These elements resemble animal retroviruses in their structure and …

The barley BARE-1 is a transcribed, copia-like retroelement with well-conserved functional
domains, an active promoter, and a copy number of at least 3× 10 4. We examined its …

Abstract The Sequence-Specific Amplification Polymorphism (S-SAP) method, and the
related molecular marker techniques IRAP (inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism) …

The BARE-1 retrotransposon is a major, active component of the genome of barley
(Hordeum vulgare L.) and other Hordeum species. Copia-like in its organization, it consists …

Retroviruses and retrotransposons make up the broad class of retroelements replicating and
transposing via reverse transcriptase. Retroelements have recently been found to be …
