Giant genomes of Fritillaria lilies are dominated by LTR-retrotransposons
Original language description
The genus Fritillaria comprises species with the largest genome so far reported for any plant species, and at the same time, it provides extensive genome size variation (30,000-127,000 Mb/C). One of our aims was to identify most abundant dispersed repetitive sequences in Fritillaria imperialis (Eurasia) and Fritillaria affinis (North America). Preliminary data suggest that the percentage of different classes of repetitive elements does not differ significantly between the two species, and gypsy-type LTRretrotransposons were identified as a dominating component in Fritillaria genomes. Further studies aims to characterize selected repetitive elements in a wide range of Fritillaria species and analyze their contribution to genome size variation across the genus.
