  abstract = {{M}ain conclusion{C}opia/{A}le is the youngest lineage in both {S}olanum tuberosum and {S}. commersonii. {W}ithin it, we identified nightshade, a new {LTR} element active in the cultivated potato.{A}bstract{F}rom an evolutionary perspective, long-terminal repeat retrotransposons ({LTR}-{RT}) activity during stress may be viewed as a mean by which organisms can keep up rates of genetic adaptation to changing conditions. {P}otato is one of the most important crop consumed worldwide, but studies on {LTR}-{RT} characterization are still lacking. {H}ere, we assessed the abundance, insertion time and activity of {LTR}-{RT}s in both cultivated {S}olanum tuberosum and its cold-tolerant wild relative {S}. commersonii genomes. {G}ypsy elements were more abundant than {C}opia ones, suggesting that the former was somehow more successful in colonizing potato genomes. {H}owever, {C}opia elements, and in particular, the {A}le lineage, are younger than {G}ypsy ones, since their insertion time was in average similar to 2 {M}ya. {D}ue to the ability of {LTR}-{RT}s to be circularized by the host {DNA} repair mechanisms, we identified via mobilome-seq a {C}opia/{A}le element (called nightshade, informal name used for potato family) active in {S}. tuberosum genome. {O}ur analyses represent a valuable resource for comparative genomics within the {S}olanaceae, transposon-tagging and for the design of cultivar-specific molecular markers in potato.},
