Abstract
Plant centromeres are generally composed of tandem arrays of simple repeats that are typical of a particular species, but that evolve rapidly. Centromere specific retroelements are also present. These arrays associate with a centromere specific variant of histone H3 that anchors the site of the kinetochore. Although such DNA arrays are typical of the centromere, the specification of centromere activity has an epigenetic component as shown by the fact that centromeres are formed in the absence of such repeats and that centromeres in dicentric chromosomes regularly undergo inactivation.
