The table lists plant genomes with fully or partly assembled centromeres, grouped according to architectural type (monocentric satellite, monocentric retrotransposon, monocentric mixed, metapolycentric, and holocentric), together with chromosome number, genome size (Mb), satellite monomer repeat length (bp), the dominant centrophilic retrotransposons when present, and references.
