How important are transposons for plant evolution?
D Lisch - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2013 - nature.com
For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

The genome sequence of African rice (Oryza glaberrima) and evidence for independent domestication
The cultivation of rice in Africa dates back more than 3,000 years. Interestingly, African rice is
not of the same origin as Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) but rather is an entirely different species …
