Genomic Analysis of Parent-of-Origin Allelic Expression in Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds
Differential expression of maternally and paternally inherited alleles of a gene is referred to as gene imprinting, a form of epigenetic gene regulation common to flowering plants and mammals. In plants, imprinting primarily occurs in the endosperm, a seed tissue that supports the embryo during its...
