Abstract excerpt
During the development of tobacco plants, cells undergo epigenetic changes that alter their requirement in culture for the cell-division factor cytokinin. Cultured leaf cells alternate between cytokinin-requiring (C-) and cytokinin-independent (C+) states at extremely high rates of approximately 10-2 per cell generation by a process called pseudodirected variation. Here we show that plants regenerated from most...
