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 …

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 …

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) have long been considered junk DNA; however, the
