Transposable elements (TEs) are the key players in generating genomic novelty by a
combination of the chromosome rearrangements they cause and the genes that come under …

The ultimate source of evolution is mutation. As the largest component in plant genomes,
transposable elements (TEs) create numerous types of mutations that cannot be mimicked …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile repetitive DNA sequences shown to be major
drivers of genome evolution. As the first plant to have its genome sequenced and analyzed …

Transposable elements (TEs) constitute the majority of angiosperm DNA, but the processes
that govern their accumulation remain mysterious. Here we discuss the three major forces …

Plants maintain extensive growth flexibility under different environmental conditions,
allowing them to continuously and rapidly adapt to alterations in their environment. A large …

The mobility of genetic elements called transposable elements (TEs) was discovered half a
century ago by Barbara McClintock. Although she had recognized them as chromosomal …

Transposable elements (TEs) comprise a major portion of many plant genomes and bursts
of TE movements cause novel genomic variation within species. In order to maintain proper …

Transposable elements (TEs) have long been considered junk DNA; however, the
availability of genome sequences and the growth of omics databases have accelerated the …

Transposable elements were first discovered in plants because they can have tremendous
effects on genome structure and gene function. Although only a few or no elements may be …

Simple Summary Transposable elements are dynamic components of plant genomes, and
display a high diversity of lineages and distribution as the result of evolutionary driving …
