Retrotransposons
are class I mobile elements, moving via an RNA intermediate. There are many
retrotransposon-based molecular markers. Here, Nikita and Sukkula
retrotransposons were investigated in Cucumis sativus L.,
Citrullus lanatus and Cucumis melo L. by using IRAP (Inter-Retrotransposon
Amplified Polymorphism) molecular marker method. These barley-specific retrotransposons
were identified in three plant species for the first time. Moreover, band
profiles of the retrotransposons were similar in plants, indicating homomorphic band profiles. Findings could provide
valuable information for understanding genomes of these plants and evolutionary
relationships among them.
