Class II MGE-like sequences in genomes of Brassica L. species

Basing on the literature data and own results, an unstability of genomes in species of Brassica genus is considered, and possibility to apply the class II mobile genetic elements-like nucleotide sequences, Ас, MuDR, Far1 and CACTA, for creation of molecular markers which could be used to evaluate genetic diversity is discussed. Using PCR, a distribution and polymorphism of markers based on Ас, MuDR, Far1 and CACTA elements are investigated in samples of Brassicaceae L. from the world collection of the N.I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry (VIR), with regard to their phylogeny.
