Abstract

Distribution of retrotransposon MAGGY in Pyricularia species isolated from various monocot plants was investigated. MAGGY was present in a high copy number in isolates from rice, foxtail millet (Setaria italica), and green bristlegrass (S. viridis), but absent in those from wheat, finger millet, goosegrass, crabgrass, Digitaria horizontalis, and mioga. These results suggest that isolates from rice are phylogenetically close to those from Setaria species.
