Polyploidization is an evolutionary event leading to structural changes of the genome(s), particularly allopolyploidization, which combines different genomes of distinct species. The tetraploid species,  Sorghum halepense , is assumed an allopolyploid species formed by hybridization between diploid  S. bicolor  and  S. propinquum . The repeat profiles of  S. bicolor ,  S. halepense , and their relatives were compared to elucidate the repeats’ role in shaping their genomes. The repeat frequencies and profiles of the three diploid accessions ( S. bicolor ,  S. bicolor  ssp.  verticilliflorum , and  S. bicolor  var.  technicum ) and two tetraploid accessions ( S. halepense ) are similar. However, the polymorphic distribution of the subtelomeric satellites preferentially enriched in the tetraploid  S. halepense  indicates drastic genome rearrangements after the allopolyploidization event. Verified by CENH3 chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing and fluorescence  in situ  hybridization (FISH) analysis the centromeres of  S. bicolor  are mainly composed of the abundant satellite SorSat137 (CEN38) and diverse CRMs, Athila of Ty3_gypsy and Ty1_copia-SIRE long terminal repeat (LTR) retroelements. A similar centromere composition was found in  S. halepense . The potential contribution of  S. bicolor  in the formation of tetraploid  S. halepense  is discussed.
