Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons in <i>Chenopodium quinoa</i> Provide Insights Into Subgenome Differentiation and Altitudinal Adaptation
Summary statement Chenopodium quinoa 's long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR‐RTs) drive genome expansion, Subgenome B/A divergence, and highland‐lowland ecotype differentiation; key subfamilies (Ogre, CRM) refine polyploidization timing and LTR‐RT insertions in genes enhance environmental adaptation.
