Chromosome distribution of four LTR retrotransposons and 18 S rDNA in coffea eugenioides.

Repetitive sequences are recognized for their roles in plant genome organization and function. Mobile elements are notable repeatome sequences due to their intrinsic mutagenic potential, which is related to the origin of adaptive novelties. Understanding the genomic organization and dynamics of the repeatome is fundamental to enlighten their role in plant genome evolution.

Coffea cytogenetics: from the first karyotypes to the meeting with genomics.

Coffea karyotype organization and evolution has been uncovered by classical cytogenetics and cytogenomics. We revisit these discoveries and present new karyotype data. Coffea possesses ~ 124 species, including C.
