Abstract excerpt
Interactions between specific maize purple plant1 (pl1) alleles result in heritable changes of gene regulation that are manifested as differences in anthocyanin pigmentation. Transcriptionally repressed states of Pl1-Rhoades alleles (termed Pl') are remarkably stable and invariably facilitate heritable changes of highly expressed states (termed Pl-Rh) in Pl'/Pl-Rh plants. However, Pl' can revert to Pl-Rh when...
