Activation of the imprinted Polycomb Group Fie1 gene in maize endosperm requires demethylation of the maternal allele.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Jul 2007

Abstract excerpt

Imprinting refers to the epigenetic regulation of gene expression that is dependent upon gene inheritance from the maternal or paternal parent. Previously, we have identified two maize homologs of the single Arabidopsis Polycomb Group gene FIE. Here, we report on the expression pattern of these genes in individual gametes before and after fertilization, and on the role of DNA methylation in determining the...
