| Abstract: | Background Endogenous pararetroviral sequences (EPRVs) are a recently discovered class of repetitive sequences that is broadly distributed
in the plant kingdom. The potential contribution of EPRVs to plant pathogenicity or, conversely, to virus resistance is just
beginning to be explored. Some members of the family Solanaceae are particularly rich in EPRVs. In previous work, EPRVs have
been characterized molecularly in various species of Nicotiana including N.tabacum (tobacco) and Solanum tuberosum (potato). Here we describe a family of EPRVs in cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and a wild relative (S.habrochaites). |
