Inhibition of RNA polymerase II allows controlled mobilisation of retrotransposons for plant breeding [rice]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report the application of a high-throughput sequencing approach that is specifically designed to analyze the active mobilome of eukaryotes after simultaneous inhibition of RNA polymerase II and/or DNA methylation in O. sativa japonica. We found that the simultaneous inhibition of Pol II and DNA-methylation activated the evolutionary young Houba-Retrotransposon in O. sativa suggesting a crucial role of Pol II in regulating retrotransposition in plants.
