Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mutation, heritable developmental variation not based on a change in nucleotide sequence, is widely reported in plants. However, the developmental and evolutionary significance of such mutations remains enigmatic. On the basis of our studies of the endogenous Arabidopsis transposon CACTA, we propose that the inheritance of epigenetic gene silencing over generations can function as a transgenerational...
