(Submitter supplied) Recently developed methods applied to plant material, for example tissue culture during plant transformation, can induce genome instability by activating uncontrolled mobilization of LTR retrotransposons (LTR-TEs), the most abundant class of mobile genetic elements in plant genomes. Here we tested the use of Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors to avoid LTR-TE mobilization in plants. We demonstrated that the application of the drug Tenofovir in systems with high LTR-TE activity, like Arabidopsis and rice, allows generation of plants free from LTR-TE insertions without interfering with their development. more...
