Plant Transposable Elements 1st Edition

Grab the definitive guide to mobile DNA in plants with Plant Transposable Elements, 1st Edition — an essential resource for researchers, breeders, graduate students, and curious readers exploring the dynamic forces shaping plant genomes. This authoritative volume demystifies transposable elements (TEs), revealing how these “jumping genes” drive genome evolution, gene regulation, and trait diversity across crops and wild species.

Inside, you’ll find clear explanations of TE classification and molecular mechanisms, illuminating topics such as retrotransposons, DNA transposons, epigenetic control, and small RNA pathways. Practical chapters connect theory to practice with up-to-date methods for identifying and characterizing TEs using genomic, bioinformatic, and cytogenetic approaches. Case studies demonstrate real-world impacts on crop improvement, stress adaptation, and genome engineering—making complex science accessible and applicable.

Whether you’re working in plant genomics, molecular biology, or agricultural biotechnology, this book provides actionable insight into how transposable elements influence gene expression, diversity, and stability. Its global perspective speaks to research and breeding programs across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America confronting food security and climate challenges.

Concise yet comprehensive, Plant Transposable Elements, 1st Edition is both a teaching aid and a long-term reference for staying current with mobile DNA research. Enhance your understanding of plant genome dynamics and unlock new possibilities for innovation in crop science.
