MpSaci is a widespread gypsy-Ty3 retrotransposon highly represented by non-autonomous copies in the Moniliophthora perniciosa genome
Transposons are an important source of genetic variation. The phytopathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa shows high level of variability but little is...

Sukkula retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms in barley
Tissue culture could be considered as one of the stress factors that affect the activation of retrotransposons. In this study, mature barley embryos (

FaRE1: a transcriptionally active Ty1-copia retrotransposon in strawberry
Retrotransposons are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom and constitute a large fraction of many plant genomes. Although most retrotransposons from...

CIRE1, a novel transcriptionally active Ty1-copia retrotransposon from Citrus sinensis
LTR retrotransposons (LTR-RTNs) are widespread constituents of eukaryote genomes, particularly plant genomes. Although LTR-RTNs from plants were...

Isolation and characterization of Ty1/copia-like retrotransposons in mung bean (Vigna radiata)
Two Ty1/copia -like retrotransposons, RTvr1 and RTvr2 , were isolated from mung bean ( Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) genomic DNA and are the first...

Oxidative stress induces high transcription of Rhm52 and Rhm54, novel genes identified as being involved in recombinational repair in Magnaporthe grisea
The first two recombinational repair genes of Magnaporthe grisea were cloned. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that Rhm52 and Rhm54...

Activation of a rice endogenous retrotransposon Tos17 in tissue culture is accompanied by cytosine demethylation and causes heritable alteration in methylation pattern of flanking genomic regions
Tos17 is a copia -like, cryptic retrotransposon of rice, but can be activated by tissue culture. To study possible epigenetic mechanism controlling...

Plant transposable elements, with an emphasis on grass species
Transposable elements are presents in all known genomes so far, and have the faculty of changing their genomic location and/or number of copies...

Retrotransposons
The terminology of T.E. is problematic. The terms Controlling Elements, Mobile DNA and Mobile Genetic Elements, all describe DNA sequences that can...

Heat shock, copper sulfate and oxidative stress activate the retrotransposon MAGGY resident in the plant pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe grisea
MAGGY is a gypsy -like retrotransposon isolated from the plant pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe grisea . The ability of various stresses to activate MAGGY...

Avirulence Determinants and Elicitors
Being surrounded by putatively hostile microorganisms, but immobile and hence unable to escape, plants constantly need to be prepared for defensive...

Comparative analyses of the distribution of various transposable elements in Pyricularia and their activity during and after the sexual cycle
We examined the distribution and activity of six transposable elements found in the blast fungus, Pyricularia spp. Sixty-eight isolates from various...

The degenerate DNA transposon Pat and repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in Podospora anserina
A degenerate DNA transposon, Pat , was identified in the genomes of various wild-type strains of the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina . In these...

skippy, a retrotransposon from the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum
A retrotransposon from the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici has been isolated and characterized. The element, designated skippy...
