Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms heritably alter patterns of gene expression without changes in DNA sequence. Epigenetic states are often correlated with developmentally imposed alterations in genomic DNA methylation and local chromatin structure. Pl-Blotched is a stable epigenetic allele of the maize anthocyanin regulatory gene, purple plant1(pl). Pl-Blotched plants display a variegated pattern of pigmentation...
