Non-coding RNA polymerases that silence transposable elements and reprogram gene expression in plants
Bart Rymen, Laura Ferrafiat, Todd Blevins
Abstract
suggest that dynamic repositioning of TEs, accompanied by Pol IV targeting to TE-proximal genes, leads to the reprogramming of plant gene expression over short evolutionary timescales.
