(a) Southern blot analysis of StuI genomic restriction of two V. decussata samples (Tunis on the left and Northern Italy on the right). Size markers (kbp) are on the right side. (b) Alignment of monomer consensus sequences derived from BIV160 (this work), HindIII (Lopez-Flores et al., 2004) and DTE satDNAs (Plohl and Cornudella, 1996), and MITE-like element Pearl (from nucleotide 98–253 of the 465 bp long full size element; Gaffney et al., 2003). Grey boxes highlight regions apparently conserved among all four groups of sequences.
