- Centromeres consist of repeats and CENH3, crucial for genome stability and chromosome karyotypes.
- Study compares centromere structure in perennial and annual soybeans, finding distinct dominant repeats.
- Perennial soybeans show highest centromere repositioning frequency among polyploid plants.
- Diverse CENH3 loading patterns observed in F1 hybrids from intra-species crosses.
- Findings reveal significant turnover of centromeric repeats and active centromere reorganization in soybeans.
