Specific LTR-Retrotransposons Show Copy Number Variations between Wild and Cultivated Sunflowers

The relationship between variation of the repetitive component of the genome and domestication in plant species is not fully understood. In previous work, variations in the abundance and proximity to genes of long terminal repeats (LTR)-retrotransposons of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) were inves...
