Preliminary characterization of the repeated DNA sequence from Vicia sativa.
We have identified a family of interspersed repeated sequences present in about 40,000 copies in the genomes of Vicia sativa and its near relative Vicia faba. The element vif is at least 6 kb in length, and members of the repeat family display a degree of heterogeneity in restriction pattern. Homologous elements in V. faba are much more heterogeneous than their V. sativa counterparts; however, analysis of five different V. faba lines revealed substantially the same patterns, suggesting that this family was reamplified prior to the divergence of the lines studied.
