TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENT (TE) LOAD. “Because the two subgenomes of an allotetraploid originate from two different genomes existing tens of millions of years ago, each with what must have been different transposon populations, bloom histories, distributions, and levels, we hypothesize that a differential load of TEs in the parental lines is a sufficient explanation for the origin of subgenome dominance.”
