In contrast to the gene-rich chromosome arms, the sequence of a typical plant centromere contains a large amount of repetitive DNA, most commonly large tracts of tandemly repeated sequences, or satellite DNA. However, the question of how this arrangement of sequences comes about is still a matter of
