Open AccessHarbinger transposon insertion in ethylene signaling gene leads to emergence of new sexual forms in cucurbits
In flowering plants, the predominant sexual morph is hermaphroditism, and the emergence of unisexuality is poorly understood. Using Cucumis melo (melon) as a model system, we explore the mechanisms driving sexual...

Open AccessThe impact of transposable elements on tomato diversity
Tomatoes come in a multitude of shapes and flavors despite a narrow genetic pool. Here, we leverage whole-genome resequencing data available for 602 cultivated and wild accessions to determine the contribution...

Open AccessRelaxed purifying selection in autopolyploids drives transposable element over-accumulation which provides variants for local adaptation
Polyploidization is frequently associated with increased transposable element (TE) content. However, what drives TE dynamics following whole genome duplication (WGD) and the evolutionary implications remain un...

Open AccessTransposition favors the generation of large effect mutations that may facilitate rapid adaption
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile parasitic sequences that have been repeatedly coopted during evolution to generate new functions and rewire gene regulatory networks. Yet, the contribution of active TEs ...

Natural occurring epialleles determine vitamin E accumulation in tomato fruits
Vitamin E (VTE) content is a low heritability nutritional trait for which the genetic determinants are poorly understood. Here, we focus on a previously detected major tomato VTE quantitative trait loci (QTL; ...
