The terminal sequences of long-terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are a source of powerful molecular markers for linkage mapping and biodiversity studies. The major factor limiting the widespread application of LTR retrotransposon-based molecular markers is the availability of new retrotransposon terminal sequences. We describe a PCR-based method for the rapid isolation of LTR sequences of Ty1-copia group retrotransposons from the genomic DNA of potentially any higher plant species. To demonstrate the utility of this technique, we have identified a variety of new retrotransposon LTR sequences from pea, broad bean and Norway spruce. Primers specific for three pea LTRs have been used to reveal polymorphisms associated with the corresponding retrotransposons within the Pisum genus.
