The Dynamics of Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon Proliferation and Decay Drive the Evolution of Genome Size Variation in Capsicum

The Dynamics of Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon Proliferation and Decay Drive the Evolution of Genome Size Variation in Capsicum

<i>Capsicum</i> (pepper) is an economically vital genus in the <i>Solanaceae</i> family, with most species possessing about 3 Gb genomes. However, the recently sequenced <i>Capsicum rhomboideum</i> (~1.7 Gb) represents the first reported case of an extremely compa...
