Retrotransposons and ethyl methanesulfonate-induced diversity in hexaploid wheat and Triticale
The bulk of large plant genomes consists of retrotransposons. Retrotransposons are able to integrate into a multitude of loci in the genome, and can thereby generate insertional polymorphism between individual...
