Recently occupation of the A- and D-genomes of allopolyploid wheat by specific TE families was demonstrated. Here we investigated the impact of the well-represented family of gypsy LTR-retrotransposons Fatima on B-genome divergence of allopolyploid wheat using the fluorescent in situ hybridisation FISH method and phylogenetic analysis. Results FISH analysis of a BAC clone BAC_2383A24 initially screened with Spelt1 repeats demonstrated its predominant localisation to chromosomes of the B-genome and its putative diploid progenitor Aegilops speltoides in hexaploid genomic formula BBAADD and tetraploid genomic formula BBAA wheats as well as their diploid progenitors. Analysis of the complete BAC_2383A24 nucleotide sequence 113 605 bp demonstrated that it contains TEs subtelomeric tandem repeats Spelt1 and five genes. LTR retrotransposons are predominant representing of the total nucleotide sequence. Three elements of the gypsy LTR retrotransposon family Fatima make up of all the LTR retrotransposons in this BAC. In situ hybridisation of the Fatima_2383A24-3 subclone suggests that individual representatives of the Fatima family contribute to the majority of the B-genome specific FISH pattern for BAC_2383A24. Phylogenetic analysis of various Fatima elements available from databases in combination with the data on their insertion dates demonstrated that the Fatima elements fall into several groups. One of these groups containing .
