Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic units able to move within the genome of virtually
all organisms. Due to their natural repetitive numbers and their high structural diversity, the …

Populus trichocarpa is an important biofuel feedstock that has been the target of extensive
research and is emerging as a model organism for plants, especially woody perennials. This …

Populus species play a foundational role in diverse ecosystems and are important
renewable feedstocks for bioenergy and bioproducts. Hybrid aspen Populus tremula× P …

The clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is an important tropical spice crop in global trade.
Evolving environmental pressures necessitate modern characterization and selection …

Abstract Background The Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) is one of the most
important Japanese forest trees, occupying approximately 44% of artificial forests and …

The accumulation and removal of transposable elements (TEs) is a major driver of genome
size evolution in eukaryotes. In plants, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons (LTR …

Inference of demographic histories using whole-genome datasets has provided insights into
diversification, adaptation, hybridization, and plant–pathogen interactions, and stimulated …

Retrotransposon expression during arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonisation of
sunflower roots (Helianthus annuus) was analysed using Illumina RNA-Seq, in order to …

Genome skimming was performed, using Illumina sequence reads, in order to obtain a
detailed comparative picture of the repetitive component of the genome of Populus species …

The dynamics of long-terminal-repeat retrotransposons in two poplar species (Populus
deltoides and P. nigra) and in an interspecific hybrid, recently synthesized, were …
