Highlights•TEs are a key source of variation and have an important role in gene
regulation.•Stress induced activation of some TE families can result in new insertions.•New …

LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant group of transposable elements (TEs) in
plants. These elements can fall inside or close to genes, and therefore influence their …

Transposable elements (TEs) have long been known to be major contributors to plant
evolution, adaptation and crop domestication. Stress-induced TE mobilization is of particular …

Background How species can adapt to abrupt environmental changes, particularly in the
absence of standing genetic variation, is poorly understood and a pressing question in the …

In higher eukaryotes, heterochromatin is mainly composed of transposable elements (TEs)
silenced by epigenetic mechanisms. But, the silencing of certain heterochromatin …

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 …

Heat stress events are resulting in a significant negative impact on global food production.
The dynamics of cellular, molecular and physiological homoeostasis in aboveground parts …

The origins and evolution of virulence in amphibian-infecting chytrids Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) are largely unknown …

Polyploidization is frequently associated with increased transposable element (TE) content.
However, what drives TE dynamics following whole genome duplication (WGD) and the …

We recently reported transposon mutagenesis as a significant driver of spontaneous
mutations in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus deneoformans during murine …
