Can plant transposable elements generate novel regulatory systems?

Schwarz-Sommer, Z.

Can plant transposable elements generate novel regulatory systems? - 1987 - Printed

References p. 209

The properties of plant transposable elements are reviewed in the light of the hypothesis that such elements may be involved in tissue-specific or developmental control of genes. That these elements can serve in evolution as tools to generate new regulatory units is considered possible, although it is not known whether it has ever occurred
