| Abstract: | Transposons were once thought to be junk repetitive DNA in the genome. However, their importance gradually became apparent as it became clear that they regulate gene expression, which is essential for organisms to survive, and that they are important factors in the driving force of evolution. Since there are multiple transposons in the genomes of all organisms, transposons have likely been activated and increased in copy number throughout their long history. This review focuses on environmental stress as a factor in transposon activation, paying particular attention to transposons in plants that are activated by environmental stresses. It is now known that plants respond to environmental stress in various ways, and correspondingly, many transposons respond to stress. The relationship between environmental stress and transposons is reviewed, including the mechanisms of their activation and the effects of transposon activation on host plants. |
