Study : Inhibition of RNA polymerase II allows controlled mobilisation of retrotransposons for plant breeding [rice]

Identification

• Name: Inhibition of RNA polymerase II allows controlled mobilisation of retrotransposons for plant breeding [rice]
• Identifier: dXJuOkVWQS9zdHVkeS9QUkpOQTM1NDgxNQ==

• Description: 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. Overall design: Comparison of the mobilomes in 10-day-old rice seedlings after inhibition of Pol II and/or DNA-methylation compared to control conditions.
