The confidence intervals, displayed as error bars, were calculated assuming a Poisson distribution of repeats in the genome. The mean length used in calculation for different repeats were as follows: Ty3-elements: 12 Kbp; Ty1-elements: 5.5 Kbp; others LTR-RTs not classified (LTR-retrotransposons): 8.75 Kbp; LINEs: 3.5 kbp; helitrons (complete autonomous): 12.8 Kbp; CACTA: 15.2 Kbp; hAT: 3.6 Kbp *In this case all the calculations are based on a rough estimate of the genome size of this species: the real value is unknown, we therefore used the value estimated for [HHJJ; 1283 Mbp], which is also an allotetraploid species and shares the HH genome type with
