PpPIF-1: first isolated full-length PIF-like element from the bamboo Phyllostachys pubescens

M. B. Zhou, Liu, X. M., and Tang, D. Q., PpPIF-1: first isolated full-length PIF-like element from the bamboo Phyllostachys pubescens, vol. 11, pp. 810-820, 2012.

PIF-like elements are the first-described members of a recently discovered and widespread superfamily of DNA transposons, named PIF/Harbinger. Complete and partial PIF-like elements have been isolated from hundreds of plant species. Previously, we identified 139 partial PIF-like transposases in the Bambusoideae, of which three were from the bamboo species Phyllostachys pubescens. Here we report identification and isolation of the first full-length PIF-like element (PpPIF-1) from P.

Transposable elements in Phyllostachys pubescens (Poaceae) genome survey sequences and the full-length cDNA sequences, and their association with simple-sequence repeats

Phyllostachys pubescens is a woody bamboo with the highest ecological, economic, and cultural values of all bamboos in Asia. There is more genomic data available for P. pubescens than for any other bamboo species, including 2.12-Mb genome survey sequences (GSS) and 11.4-Mb full-length cDNA sequences (FL-cDNAs) currently deposited in GenBank. Analysis of these sequences revealed that transposable elements (TEs) are abundant, diverse and polyphyletic in the P.
