Abstract excerpt
ONSEN is a heat-activated Ty1/copia retrotransposon in Arabidopsis thaliana controlled by heat shock factors (HSFs) and epigenetic silencing. Heat shock element (HSE)-like sequences in ONSEN long terminal repeats (LTRs) contribute to heat responsiveness, but relationships among sequence architecture, basal DNA methylation and natural variation remain unclear. We combined transcription-factor motif prediction,...
