Very little is known regarding how repetitive elements evolve in polyploid organisms. Here we address this subject by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of 20 interspersed repetitive elements to metaphase chromosomes of the cotton AD-genome tetraploid Gossypium hirsutum and its putative A- and...
