Sequence-Independent Identification of Active LTR Retrotransposons in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2018 Detection of retrotransposons capable of contemporary transposition is hampered by the replicative nature of their movement and is usually limited to fortuitous observations of new integration events causing visible phenotypes. To circumvent this shortcoming, we developed a screening strategy for novel active retrotransposons containing long terminal ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.A high‐quality reference genome for the elite peanut cultivar Zhonghua No. 5 revealed differing evolutionary paths between the two peanut subgenomes. SubA has higher overall gene expression and more open chromatin, whereas SubB has stronger structural organization, higher DNA methylation, and greater adaptive diversity associated with peanut evolution ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Genetic diversity of strawberry‐infecting Colletotrichum isolates. Summary Rapid adaptation in fungal plant pathogens is often attributed to sexual recombination, yet many important pathogens are largely clonal. We investigated how genetic and phenotypic diversity arises in the predominantly asexual fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae, the main cause of ...

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Identification of rDNA-Specific Non-LTR Retrotransposons in Cnidaria [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2006 Ribosomal RNA genes are abundant repetitive sequences in most eukaryotes. Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) contains many insertions derived from mobile elements including non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons. R2 is the well-characterized 28S rDNA-specific non-LTR retrotransposon family that is distributed over at least 4 bilaterian phyla.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) genes constitute one of the largest families of plant immune receptors and are central to crop disease resistance. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) are major crops underpinning global food security, and enhancing their immunity is critical for ...

A new look at the LTR retrotransposon content of the chicken genome [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2016 LTR retrotransposons contribute approximately 10 % of the mammalian genome, but it has been previously reported that there is a deficit of these elements in the chicken relative to both mammals and other birds. A novel LTR retrotransposon classification pipeline, LocaTR, was developed and subsequently utilised to re-examine the chicken LTR ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Potato cyst nematodes (PCNs), Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, are globally recognized quarantine pests that can cause severe yield losses in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) if left uncontrolled. Deploying host resistance remains the most effective, economical, and environmentally sustainable strategy for PCN control.

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 232-245, June 2026.Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially
