Transposon is a mobile and ubiquitous DNA that can vastly causes genomic alterations. In
plants, it is well documented that transposon mobilization is strongly repressed by DNA …

Heavy metal and metalloid pollution caused by the industrialization became a leading stress
factors for agricultural plants. The increase in the amount of nickel and boron in agricultural …

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that are able to “jump” in the genome.
Despite most TE jumping events having neutral or deleterious effects, they also promote …

Induced mutation technology is a powerful means to introduce novel genetic variability for
use in crop improvement. Induced mutants have been developed in several crop plants and …

Transposable elements (TEs) comprise a large proportion of the eukaryote genomes. Yet it
remains poorly understood how TEs influence the fitness of the hosts carrying them. Here …

Genome size variation, largely driven by repeat content, is poorly understood within and
among populations, limiting our understanding of its significance for adaptation. Here we …

The protein kinase (PK) superfamily constitutes one of the largest and most conserved
protein families in eukaryotic genomes, comprising core components of signaling pathways …

Stem-borers in the genus Papaipema (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) range from highly
polyphagous agricultural pests to specialists on more than 20 families of flowering plants …

Transposable elements (TEs) pervade most eukaryotic genomes but the repetitive nature of
TEs has complicated the analysis of their expression. Although the majority of TEs are silent …

Plant chromatin dynamics are generally recognized as playing a role in the genomic
response to environmental stress. Although stress‐induced transcriptional activities of LTR …
