Table 5.
  • aPercentage refers to the number of a structural class of LTR-RTs (e.g., solo LTRs or truncated elements) relative to the total number of the three classes of LTR-RTs; intensity of DNA loss refers to the amount of DNA removed through solo LTR formation or truncated element generation relative to the original sizes of all LTR-RTs upon their integration in the rice genome.

  • bPearson correlation coefficient.

  • cAll P-values calculated by 10,000 bootstrap resamplings.

  • dCorrelation based on the proportion of LTR-RTs (DNA %) and proportion of genes (DNA %).
