@DamonLisch Interesting thought - if this mechanism of immune memory translates to other TEs and defences, it should be possible to scan TE fams for above-average sequence homology with differentially regulated clusters of defence genes (SA, ethylene, etc.).

Check out our paper @NaturePlants: We show how plants 'remember' stress from caterpillars. This immune memory lingers for weeks, primes defence genes, and is epigenetically encoded in transposons. @sheffielduni @PPS_UoS @susfoodshef #plantsci #epigenetics
