“…For example, higher TE transposition and/or transcription rates have been noted after heat shock (e.g., [95,158]), cold stress (e.g., [159][160][161]), pathogen/microbe infection (e.g., [162,163]), high-ultraviolet (UV) exposure (e.g., [164]), and wounding (e.g., [36,159]). [107], while in rice at least 13 TE families are transpositionally activated in in vitro culture [129]. In some cases, such as the tobacco Tto1 class I TE under pathogen stress, activation of the TE may result from convergent evolution within the TE promoter resulting in transcription factor-binding sites that are utilized under particular conditions [18,163].…”
