This project investigates how transposons, mobile genetic elements in genomes, are recognized and silenced by host organisms. It focuses on the mechanisms of transposon silencing in Arabidopsis and how environmental stress can affect this process, aiming to enhance understanding of genetic variability and adaptation.
There is no living organism that does not contain transposons, and they make up a significant fraction, and in some instances, the vast majority of the genome in a given species.
Owing to their proliferation propensity, these mobile genetic elements can create genetic variability providing selective benefits, but they also have a mutagenic potential.
Therefore, host genomes have evolved epigenetic surveillance mechanisms to recognize and silence transposons.
If maintenance of silencing is rather…
