Two soybean ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit genes share extensive homology even in distant flanking sequences

Grandbastien M, Berry-Lowe S, Shirley B, Meagher R

Plant Mol Biol . 2013 Dec; 7(6):451-65. PMID: 24302473

Soybean contains a multigene family which encodes the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCss). A member of this gene family, SRS4, has been isolated from a soybean genomic DNA library....

Cellular genetic study of a somatic instability in a tobacco mutant: in vitro isolation of valine-resistant spontaneous mutants

Grandbastien M, Missonier C, Goujaud J, Bourgin J, Deshayes A, Caboche M

Theor Appl Genet . 2013 Nov; 77(4):482-8. PMID: 24232713

A chlorophyll-deficient mutant line of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), named tl, displays spontaneously on leaves green, white, and twinned green/white somatic variations at high frequencies (10(-3) to 10(-2)). The frequency of...

The Tnt1 family member Retrosol copy number and structure disclose retrotransposon diversification in different Solanum species

Manetti M, Rossi M, Nakabashi M, Grandbastien M, Van Sluys M

Mol Genet Genomics . 2008 Dec; 281(3):261-71. PMID: 19093134

Eukaryotic genome expansion/retraction caused by LTR-retrotransposon activity is dependent on the expression of full length copies to trigger efficient transposition and recombination-driven events. The Tnt1 family of retrotransposons has served...

Sequence of events leading to near-complete genome turnover in allopolyploid Nicotiana within five million years

Lim K, Kovarik A, Matyasek R, Chase M, Clarkson J, Grandbastien M, et al.

New Phytol . 2007 Aug; 175(4):756-763. PMID: 17688590

Analyses of selected bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) clones suggest that the retrotransposon component of angiosperm genomes can be amplified or deleted, leading to genome turnover. Here, Nicotiana allopolyploids were used...

Retrolyc1-1, a member of the Tntl retrotransposon super-family in the Lycopersicon peruvianum genome

Costa A, Scortecci K, Hashimoto R, Araujo P, Grandbastien M, Van Sluys M

Genetica . 2005 Oct; 107(1-3):65-72. PMID: 16220396

Retrotransposons are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements that transpose through an RNA intermediate. One of the best known plant retrotransposon, Tnt1, was isolated from tobacco and showed an extensive distribution in...

The mobility of the tobacco Tnt1 retrotransposon correlates with its transcriptional activation by fungal factors

Melayah D, Bonnivard E, Chalhoub B, Audeon C, Grandbastien M

Plant J . 2001 Nov; 28(2):159-68. PMID: 11722759

We have analyzed the stress-induced amplification of the tobacco Tnt1 element, one of the rare active plant retrotransposons. Tnt1 mobility was monitored using the retrotransposon-anchored SSAP strategy that allows the...

Retrotransposons of the Tnt1B family are mobile in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia and can induce alternative splicing of the host gene upon insertion

Leprinc A, Grandbastien M, Christian M

Plant Mol Biol . 2001 Oct; 47(4):533-41. PMID: 11669578

Active retrotransposons have been identified in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia by their ability to disrupt the nitrate reductase gene in chlorate-resistant mutants selected from protoplast-derived cultures. In mutants E23 and F97, two...

Retrolyc1 subfamilies defined by different U3 LTR regulatory regions in the Lycopersicon genus

Araujo P, Casacuberta J, Costa A, Hashimoto R, Grandbastien M, Van Sluys M

Mol Genet Genomics . 2001 Oct; 266(1):35-41. PMID: 11589575

Retrolycl, a Ty1/copia-like element, was originally isolated from the Lycopersicon peruvianum genome and shown to be present also in other Lycopersicon species. It shares extensive similarities with Tntl, except in...

Three Tnt1 subfamilies show different stress-associated patterns of expression in tobacco. Consequences for retrotransposon control and evolution in plants

Beguiristain T, Grandbastien M, Puigdomenech P, Casacuberta J

Plant Physiol . 2001 Sep; 127(1):212-21. PMID: 11553749

The genomes of most Nicotiana species contain three different subfamilies of the Tnt1 retrotransposon, which differ completely in their U3 sequence, whereas the rest of the sequence is relatively constant....

Retrolycl-1, a member of the tntl retrotransposon super-family in the Lycopersicon peruvianum genome

Costa A, Scortecci K, Hashimoto R, Araujo P, Grandbastien M, Van Sluys M

Genetica . 2000 Aug; 107(1-3):65-72. PMID: 10952198

Retrotransposons are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements that transpose through an RNA intermediate. One of the best known plant retrotransposon, Tnt1, was isolated from tobacco and showed an extensive distribution in...
