Abstract excerpt
We investigated the fidelity of epigenetic inheritance in crosses between three accessions of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana (Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands, and Columbia). Specifically, we examined the cytosine methylation content of the ribosomal RNA genes at the two nucleolus organizer regions (NOR2 and NOR4) in F1 and F2 hybrid individuals derived from reciprocal crosses between the high NOR...
