| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research was to screen the retrotransposon families that showed high insertion polymorphisms among crop cultivars. It was shown that the insertion polymorphisms of those families were quite useful for the genetic analysis in polyploidy species. A novel method was developed by modifying a previous method, which could be applied to non-model crop species including sweetpotato. As a result, 14 new retrotransposon families were identified in sweetpotato, and we experimentally verified their insertion polymorphisms. In addition, one retrotransposon family was cloned and its entire sequence could be determined. Moreover, comprehensive analyses of the insertion sites for several families were conducted. Thus, we achieved our initial goal.
