Plant Lineage-Specific Amplification of Transcription Factor Binding Motifs by Miniature Inverted-Repeat Transposable Elements (MITEs).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transposable elements are one of the main drivers of plant genome evolution. Transposon insertions can modify the gene coding capacity or the regulation of their expression, the latter being a more subtle effect, and therefore particularly useful for evolution. Transposons have been show to contain transcription factor binding sites that can be mobilized upon transposition with the potential to integrate new genes into transcriptional networks. Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are a type of noncoding DNA transposons that could be particularly suited as a vector to mobilize transcription factor binding sites and modify transcriptional networks during evolution. MITEs are small in comparison to other transposons and can be excised, which should make them less mutagenic when inserting into promoters. On the other hand, in spite of their cut-and-paste mechanisms of transposition, they can reach very high copy numbers in genomes. We have previously shown that MITEs have amplified and redistributed the binding motif of the E2F transcription factor in different Brassicas. Here, we show that MITEs have amplified and mobilized the binding motifs of the bZIP60 and PIF3 transcription factors in peach and Prunus mume, and the TCP15/23 binding motif in tomato. Our results suggest that MITEs could have rewired new genes into transcriptional regulatory networks that are responsible for important adaptive responses and breeding traits in plants, such as stress responses, flowering time, or fruit ripening. The results presented here therefore suggest a general impact of MITEs in the evolution of transcriptional regulatory networks in plants.
