N2 - We have used a PCR and cloning strategy to identify Ty1-copia-like retrotransposons in tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Using degenerate oligonucleotide primers corresponding to conserved domains of the Ty1-copia retrotransposon reverse transcriptase (RT), fragments of about 260 bp were obtained by PCR amplification. Sequences of 20 cloned amplification fragments showed similarity to retrotransposon sequences. The copy number for total tomato Ty1-copia-like RT population was estimated to be approximately 2500 and may account for about 1.5 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DsFV8rv3J0ZinG2b2WjoL9XzYc2j7qlv/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
