Deconstruction of the (paleo)polyploid grapevine genome based on the analysis of transposition events involving NBS resistance genes.

Plants have followed a reticulate type of evolution and taxa have frequently merged via allopolyploidization. A polyploid structure of sequenced genomes has often been proposed, but the chromosomes belonging to putative component genomes are difficult to identify. The 19 grapevine chromosomes are ev...
