Recent Insights into Mechanisms of Genome Size Change in Plants (2010, background): “Since those two initial studies, the relative effectiveness of UR versus IR has been evaluated for different species [14–17] and the subject of their effectiveness relative to one another and relative to TE proliferation has been a topic of debate [5, 7].”
Bias in plant gene content following different sorts of duplication: tandem, whole-genome, segmental, or by transposition. (2009, background): “Although the accummulation of small deletions is an ongoing process of gene removal in plants (7), more dramatic fractionation mechanisms may also exist.”
Draft genome of the living fossil Ginkgo biloba (2016, background): “Thus, the lack of an active mechanism for removing transposable elements such as unequal recombination [64] might have led to the enormous genome size in gymnosperms [19].”
Genome Size Dynamics and Evolution in Monocots (2010, background): “These have revealed the rapid and dynamic nature of genome sizeevolution in grasses [146, 151], the mechanisms involved in generating genome size-diversity [152], and the contribution that transposons and in particular retrotransposons have made to genome size-differences [153–156] and highlighted c”
Utilization of next-generation sequencing platforms in plant genomics and genetic variant discovery (2010, background): “…et al. 2006), the wide variation of genome size among plant species is due to the occurrence of both polyploidy and the elevated content of highly repetitive DNA sequences primarily due to the expansion of transposable elements (SanMiguel et al. 1996; Rostoks et al. 2002; Bennetzen et al. 2005).”
DNA transposons and the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. (2007, background): “Retrotransposons seem to be major players in promoting rapid increase, and perhaps also decrease, in the genome size of multicellular eukaryotes (7, 10, 124, 128, 150, 171, 185).”
Plant DNA flow cytometry and estimation of nuclear genome size. (2005, background): “…of nuclear genome and its components provides clues as to the mechanisms that could be responsible for genome increase, including the activation of Class I retrotransposons (Bennetzen and Kellogg, 1997), and for genome decrease by deletions (Petrov, 1997; Gregory, 2003; Bennetzen et al., 2005).”
