We report here the occurrence, in the banana genome, of a sequence family of species-specific repetitive elements: Bbreo 1. This sequence family is distributed throughout the Musaceae with various copy numbers. The two species Musa acuminata and M. schizocarpa carry the highest copy numbers in contrast to M. balbisiana and tested copy numbers in contrast to M. balbisiana and tested representatives of different other sections. PCR primers were defined in the core consensus sequence for specific amplifications, which allow representatives of this sequence family to be easily detected in wild and cultivated banana clones.  agenetic relationships  aBanana  aBanana-Musa  aDNA repetitivo  aMusa relacoes genetica  aRepetitive DNA  aSpecies-specific sequences1 aMOYER, J.-L.1 aLANAUD, C.1 aLAGODA, P.
