Satellite repeat consensus sequences from 41 Arabidopsisecotypes. (Upper row) The overall consensus for the species; (asterisks) sites defined as polymorphic. Consensus sequences derived for each ecotype are indicated; (dots) identical nucleotides; (shading) nucleotide changes that are significantly different from the species consensus (χ2 test, P < 0.01); (pink) changes observed in multiple ecotype consensus sequences; (yellow) changes uniquely found in one ecotype consensus. Arrows below the species consensus indicate the primers (F2, R2 and F4, R4) used to amplify the repeats; (gray shading) conserved (C1, C2, C3) and variable (V1) regions (see also Fig. 3).
