•〈21¯1¯1〉 RE-texture component is not observed in the as-extruded Mg–1Gd sample.•〈21¯1¯1〉 texture strengthens during annealing due to the preferred grain growth.•The driving force of preferred grain growth is the difference in stored energy.•Abnormal growth of the 〈101¯0〉 grain takes place during lo...
