All families of transposable elements were active in the recent wheat genome evolution and polyploidy had no impact on their activity

Abstract Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop and its genome is one of the largest ever assembled at reference‐quality level. It is 15 Gb, hexaploid, with 85% of transposable elements (TEs). Wheat genetic diversity was mainly focused on genes and little is known about the extent of gen...
