Abstract
- Genomes of crop plants are peppered with retrotransposons.
- Retrotransposons can be selectively mobilized in epigenetic mutants.
- Their selective mobilization is also triggered by environmental stress.
- New retrotransposon insertions create novel regulatory gene networks.
- Controlled retrotransposition may generate novel phenotypic diversity in crops.
