A range of studies in allopolyploid plant genomes have revealed rapid epigenetic changes, including alteration in cytosine methylation patterns, rapid silencing of ribosomal RNA and protein-coding genes, and de-repression of dormant transposable elements.
Because of the absence of MuDR, these elements are dormant, and some may have lost their transposition activity due to accumulated mutations.
