Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) contribute a large fraction of many sequenced plant genomes and play important roles in genomic diversity and phenotypic variations. LTR-RTs are abundantly distributed in plant genomes, facilitating the development of markers based on LTR-RTs for a variety of genotyping purposes. Whole-genome analysis of LTR-RTs was performed in Cleistogenes songorica. A total of 299,079 LTR-RTs were identified and classified as Gypsy type, Copia type, or other type. LTR-RTs were widely distributed in the genome, enriched in the heterochromatic region of the chromosome, and negatively correlated with gene distribution. However, approximately one-fifth of genes were still interrupted by LTR-RTs, and these genes are annotated. Furthermore, four types of primer pairs (PPs) were designed, namely, retrotransposon-based insertion polymorphisms, inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphisms, insertion site–based polymorphisms, and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphisms. A total of 350 PPs were screened in 23 accessions of the genus Cleistogenes, of which 80 PPs showed polymorphism, and 72 PPs showed transferability among Gramineae and non-Gramineae species. In addition, a comparative analysis of homologous LTR-RTs was performed with other related grasses. Taken together, the study will serve as a valuable resource for genotyping applications for C. songorica and related grasses.
