In this paper, a Tourist-like MITE BnTst-1 was identified in Brassica A and C genome. The BnTst-1 copy number and its distribution in different chromosomes in the genome of three Brassica species were investigated. The sequence variation of BnTst-1 and the TIR and TSD were compared among two Brassica species. The amplification profile diversity caused by BnTst-1 activity intra- and inter- species were confirmed experimentally. DNA methylation level of the BnTst-1 and its flanking sequences, together with EMSA experiments showed that this MITE may play regulation role in gene expression and genome evolution in Brassicaea.
Keywords:Tourist-like MITE; gene expression; evolution; Brassica
