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

Plant 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

Plant, 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.

Retrotransposons and Diabetes Mellitus

Epigenomes
Retrotransposons are invasive genetic elements, which replicate by copying and pasting themselves throughout the genome in a process called retrotransposition. The most abundant retrotransposons by number in the human genome are Alu and LINE-1 elements, which comprise approximately 40% of the human genome.

Functional Investigation of a Novel PIWIL4 Mutation in Nonobstructive Azoospermia During the First Wave of Spermatogenesis

Biomolecules
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are almost exclusively expressed in germ cells to silence harmful transposons to maintain genome stability. PIWIL4 is guided by its associated piRNAs to transposable elements, where it recruits

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

Plant 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.

Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Comparative Genomics Provide Insights Into Karyotype Evolution in Vespertilionid Bats (Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies elucidating the molecular basis and evolutionary consequences of karyotypic changes in mammals remain scarce. Here, we investigate chromosomal evolution by focusing on two contrasting lineages within the family Vespertilionidae (Chiroptera): the karyotypically variable tribe Pipistrellini and the highly conserved genus Myotis ...

Retrotransposon Tto1: functional analysis and engineering for insertional mutagenesis [PDF]

, 2011
Retrotransposons are genomic parasites activated by stress conditions that can be seriously detrimental for their host. In this work I demonstrate that Tto1, a typical plant LTR retrotransposon with insertion preference into genes can be turned into a ...

DNA methylation as a predictor of pituitary neuroendocrine tumour behaviour: A systematic review

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs) range from slow‐growing to highly aggressive tumours; however, traditional prognostic markers often fail to predict clinical outcomes reliably. DNA methylation has recently emerged as a promising biomarker for assessing tumour behaviour. This systematic review evaluates its predictive value in PitNETs.

Small RNAs regulation and genomic harmony: insights into allopolyploid evolution in marsh orchids (Dactylorhiza)

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 648-660, April 2026.
Summary Hybridization and polyploidy are major drivers of plant diversification, often accompanied by shifts in gene expression and genome composition. Small RNAs (smRNAs) are thought to influence such genomic changes, particularly through their interactions with transposable elements (TEs).
