Active LTR Retrotransposons Shaping the Dynamic Evolution of Maize Genomes

open access: yes
Long terminal repeats (LTR) retrotransposons are transposable elements which can copy and insert themselves into other loci within a genome. These transposable elements are similar to retroviruses in that they rely on reverse transcriptase to “copy and ...

LTR retrotransposons, handy hitchhikers of plant regulation and stress response

open access: yes, 2014
LTR retrotransposons are major components of plant genomes. They are regulated by a diverse array of external stresses and tissue culture conditions, displaying finely tuned responses to these stimuli, mostly in the form of upregulation. Second to stress

Chromosome‐scale assembly of wheat cultivar Sumai 3, a major germplasm source for Fusarium head blight resistance

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease that severely impacts global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Sumai 3, a wheat cultivar widely used in breeding programs for its strong FHB resistance, has not been fully resolved at the chromosome level.

Getting closer to a pre-vertebrate genome: the non-LTR retrotransposons of Branchiostoma floridae

open access: yes, 2006
Non-LTR retrotransposons are common in vertebrate genomes and although present in invertebrates they appear at a much lower frequency. The cephalochordate amphioxus is the closest living relative to vertebrates and has been considered a good model for ...

Simulation-based estimation of branching models for LTR retrotransposons

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceMotivation: LTR retrotransposons are mobile elements that are able, like retroviruses, to copy and move inside eukaryotic genomes.

A high‐quality haplotype‐resolved genome of Pyrus calleryana provides insights into adaptive gene families

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is a deciduous species native to East Asia with notable ornamental and ecological value, but the genomic resources for this species remain limited. Here, we report the first haplotype‐resolved, chromosome‐scale genome of P. calleryana.

Identification of non-autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons in the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yes, 2002
As observed for most eukaryotic cells, trypanosomatids contains non-LTR retrotransposons randomly inserted in the nuclear genome. Autonomous retroelements which, code for their own transposition, have been characterized in Trypanosoma brucei (ingi) and

Dynamic Impact of Active LTR Retrotransposons on Maize Genome Evolution

open access: yes
Long terminal repeats (LTR) retrotransposons, found across eukaryotes, are transposable elements which can copy and insert themselves into other loci within a genome.

SIRT1 Silences L1 Retrotransposons by Stabilizing Heterochromatin‐Modifying Complexes

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2026.
SIRT1 binds the LINE‐1 5′‐UTR and recruits the heterochromatin modifiers Lamin B1 and KAP1 to maintain H3K9me3 levels, thereby suppressing LINE‐1 retrotransposition. SIRT1 deficiency enhances LINE‐1 transcription, leading to upregulation of senescence‐associated secretory phenotype factors, activation of the cGAS‐STING pathway, and consequent cellular ...

The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2799-2817, September 2026.
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 ...
