  abstract = {{R}etrotransposons are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements constituting a major part of eukaryotic genomes. {Y}et, monitoring retrotransposition and subsequent copy number increases in multicellular eukaryotes is intrinsically difficult. {B}y following the transgenerational accumulation of a newly activated retrotran-sposon {EVADE} ({EVD}) in {A}rabidopsis, we noticed fast expansion of activated elements transmitted through the paternal germ line but suppression when {EVD}-active copies are maternally inherited. {T}his parent-of-origin effect on {EVD} proliferation was still observed when gametophytes carried mutations for key epigenetic regulators previously shown to restrict {EVD} mobility. {T}herefore, the main mechanism preventing active {EVD} proliferation seems to act through epigenetic control in sporophytic tissues in the mother plant. {I}n consequence, once activated, this retrotransposon proliferates in plant populations owing to suppressed epigenetic control during paternal transmission. {T}his parental gateway might contribute to the occasional bursts of retrotransposon mobilization deduced from the genome sequences of many plant species.},
