- Mechanism Transposable elements appear pivotal to variation in plant genome size.
- Mechanism Transposable elements affect plant genome size.
- Mechanism Transposable elements can disrupt gene functions and regulatory networks.
- Mechanism Transposable element coevolution has led to tight control of their activity.
- Mechanism Evidence suggests that the plant genome and transposable element relationship has become mutualistic.
- Mechanism Transposable elements may help plant populations overcome environmental or genomic challenges.
- Mechanism Inducible transposable elements may give plant populations a selective advantage.
