The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and species belonging to the genus Helianthus are emerging as amodel species and genus for a number of studies on genome evolution. In this review, we report on therepetitive component of the H. annuus genome at the biochemical, molecular, cytological, and genomiclevels. Recent work on sunflower genome composition is described, with emphasis on different typesof repeat sequences, especially LTR-retrotransposons, of which we report on isolation, characterisation,cytological localisation, transcription, dynamics of proliferation, and comparative analyses within thegenus Helianthus.

Abstract

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and species belonging to the genus Helianthus are emerging as amodel species and genus for a number of studies on genome evolution. In this review, we report on therepetitive component of the H. annuus genome at the biochemical, molecular, cytological, and genomiclevels. Recent work on sunflower genome composition is described, with emphasis on different typesof repeat sequences, especially LTR-retrotransposons, of which we report on isolation, characterisation,cytological localisation, transcription, dynamics of proliferation, and comparative analyses within thegenus Helianthus.
