The twenty-first century began with a certain indifference to the research of satellite DNA (satDNA). Neither genome sequencing projects were able to accurately encompass the study of satDNA nor classic methodologies were able to go further in undertaking a better comprehensive study of the whole set of satDNA sequences of a genome. Nonetheless, knowledge of satDNA has progressively advanced during this century with the advent of new analytical techniques. The enormous advantages that genome-wide approaches have brought to its analysis have now stimulated a renewed interest in the study of satDNA. At this point, we can look back and try to assess more accurately many of the key questions that were left unsolved in the past about this enigmatic and important component of the genome. I review here the understanding gathered on plant satDNAs over the last few decades with an eye on the near future.
