We explored diversity, distribution and evolutionary dynamics of Ty1-Copia retrotransposons
in the genomes of the Hordeum murinum polyploid complex and related taxa. Phylogenetic …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Here, we report data on the population variability of Ty3-gypsy retrotransposons in genomes
of Aegilops speltoides (2n= 2x= 14) and Hordeum spontaneum (2n= 2x= 14). Based on the …

The BARE retrotransposon family comprises more than 104 copies in the barley (Hordeum
vulgare) genome. The element is bounded by long terminal repeats (LTRs, 1829 bp) …

Speciation and allopolyploidization in cereals may be accompanied by dramatic changes in
abundance of centromeric repeated transposable elements. Here we demonstrate that the …
