Abstract

The repetitive component of the genome of Actinidia spp. is poorly studied in comparison with those of many other plants. In this chapter, we critically introduce the features of this elusive yet important fraction of plant genomes and discuss the data available for the recently sequenced A. chinensis var. chinensis genome. New analyses focusing on evolutionary and comparative dynamics of LTR-retrotransposons are presented and discussed.
