title: The contributions of retroelements to plant genome organization, function and evolution.
abstract: Plant genomes are rich in mobile DNAs of several retroelement classes. The great abundance, broad dispersion, and hypervariability of plant retroelements indicate that they make a major contribution to host genome organization, function and evolution.
