Polyploidy (ie, hybridization between more or less divergent genomes, associated with
whole genome duplication) has been shown to result in drastic genome reorganization …

Background The growing wealth of knowledge on whole-plant genome sequences is
highlighting the key role of transposable elements (TEs) in plant evolution, as a driver of …

Transposable elements (TEs) represent an important fraction of plant genomes and are
likely to play a pivotal role in fuelling genome reorganization and functional changes …

Plant genomes are unique in an intriguing feature: the range of their size variation is
unprecedented among living organisms. Although polyploidization contributes to this …

Transposable elements (TEs) constitute over 90% of the wheat genome. It was suggested
that “genomic stress” such as hybridity or polyploidy might activate transposons. Intensive …

Transposable elements (TEs) represent a major and variable portion of plant genomes, and
recent progress in genetics and genomics has highlighted the importance of different TE …

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of plant genomes with the ability to
change their position in the genome or to create new copies of themselves in other positions …

Transposable elements (TEs) are discrete genetic units that have the ability to change their
location within chromosomal DNA, and constitute a major and rapidly evolving component of …

In his interesting commentary on transposable elements (TEs), gene silencing and
macroevolution, John McDonald1 omitted a major player that has acted in concert with TEs …

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can change their position within
genomes. TEs are present in most organisms and can be an important genomic component …
