A Pan-TE Map Reveals the Important Role of Transposable Elements in Gene Expression and Phenotypic Diversity in 2,311 Rapeseed Accessions. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study presents the first pan‐transposable element (TE) atlas in rapeseed, profiling over 8 million TEs across 2311 accessions. Integrative analyses reveal that TEs broadly shape gene expression through diverse regulatory mechanisms, with key insertions in BnaA03.FLC and BnaA09.CYP78A9 linked to flowering time and silique development.
