  1. The repeat length presented different lengths while frequencies of repeats harbored 1 mismatch (low imperfection), 2 mismatch (moderate imperfection) and 3 mismatch (high imperfection) were compared among 13 plant species. All estimates were significant while underlined were non-significant at 0.05
