title: Cloning and characterization of a Beta vulgaris satellite DNA family.
abstract: Three members of the BamHI-sequence family of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) have been cloned in Escherichia coli and compared by sequence analysis. The sequence family shows the typical features of eukaryotic satellite DNA, e.g., organization in tandem arrays and sequence divergence. A typical ladder pattern of a monomer (327 bp) and multiple oligodeoxyribonucleotides have been observed. The BamHI monomer is A + T-rich (69%) and does not show any similarity to other known plant satellite DNAs.
