A retrotransposon-based-strategy for the assessment of genetic and epigenetic stability of oil palm embryogenic suspensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Clonal regenerants of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) can display a detrimental variant phenotype called mantled which affects the floral morphology of adult palms thus lowering oil yields in clonal offspring.

The genome-defence gene Tex19.1 suppresses LINE-1 retrotransposons in the placenta and prevents intra-uterine growth retardation in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
DNA methylation plays an important role in suppressing retrotransposon activity in mammalian genomes, yet there are stages of mammalian development where global hypomethylation puts the genome at risk of retrotransposition-mediated genetic instability ...

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...

Long-lasting Corolla Cultivars in Japanese Azaleas: A Mutant AP3/DEF Homolog Identified in Traditional Azalea Cultivars from More Than 300 Years Ago

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Floral shape in higher plants typically requires genetic regulation through MADS transcription factors. In Japan, hundreds of azalea cultivars including flower shape mutations have been selected from the diversity of endogenous species and natural ...

Integrating transposable elements in the 3D genome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Chromosome organisation is increasingly recognised as an essential component of genome regulation, cell fate and cell health. Within the realm of transposable elements (TEs) however, the spatial information of how genomes are folded is still only rarely ...

A Natural LTR Retrotransposon Insertion in the Promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt Boosts Cotton Lint Yield

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transposable elements (TEs) are fundamental drivers of crop evolution and domestication. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of TE‐mediated gene activation remain poorly understood. Lint percentage is an important yield component in cotton. Here, we report a retrotransposon insertion in the promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt, a secondary wall NAC encoding ...

Dynamic Landscapes of Long Noncoding RNAs During Early Root Development and Differentiation in Glycine max and Glycine soja

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop for its nutritional value. Its wild relative, Glycine soja, provides a valuable genetic resource for improving soybean productivity. Root development and differentiation are essential for soybean plants to take up water and nutrients, store energy and anchor themselves.

Family C of Short Interspersed Elements in the Genomes of Lagomorphs: Structure, Evolution, Transcription and Transcript Polyadenylation

open access: yesAnimals
Short Interspersed Elements (SINEs) are eukaryotic non-autonomous retrotransposons that rely on RNA polymerase III (pol III) for transcription. A subset of mammalian SINEs—designated T+ SINEs—harbors a canonical polyadenylation signal (AATAAA), a pol III

Links between human LINE-1 retrotransposons and hepatitis virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2016
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for approximately 80% of liver cancers, the third most frequent cause of cancer mortality. The most prevalent risk factors for HCC are infections by hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus. Findings suggest that hepatitis

Elimination of FRDL1, a xylem‐located citrate transporter, confers tolerance to excess unchelated ferrous iron through an exclusion mechanism in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Knock‐down of a xylem‐localized citrate transporter, FRDL1, reduces foliar iron concentrations and leaf symptoms under excess ferrous iron stress in rice. Abstract Iron (Fe) toxicity is a common agricultural problem that limits rice yield in various regions of Southeast Asia and Africa.
