Transposable element abundance subtly contributes to lower fitness in maize

M. C. Stitzer, M. B. Khaipho-Burch, A. I. Hudson, B. Song, J. A. Valdes-Franco, G. P. Ramstein, C. Feschotte, E. S. Buckler

This study quantifies the fitness costs of transposable elements in maize by analyzing TE content across thousands of inbred lines and linking TE accumulation to reduced grain yield.

Adaptation in plant genomes: bigger is different

W. Mei, M. G. Stetter, D. J. Gates, M. C. Stitzer, J. Ross-Ibarra

The paper proposes the functional space hypothesis, suggesting genome size affects mutational targets and adaptation patterns in plants, but more data are needed for validation.
