Abstract excerpt
Stress modulation of retrotransposons may play a role in generating host genetic plasticity in response to environmental stress. Transposable elements have been suggested to contribute to the evolution of genes, by providing cis-regulatory elements leading to changes in expression patterns. Indeed, their promoter elements are similar to those of plant defence genes and may bind similar defence-induced...
