Retinoblastoma and Its Binding Partner MSI1 Control Imprinting in Arabidopsis
6 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Parental genomic imprinting causes preferential expression of one of the two parental alleles. In mammals, differential sex-dependent deposition of silencing DNA methylation marks during gametogenesis initiates a new cycle of imprinting. Parental genomic imprinting has been detected in plants and relies on DNA methylation by the methyltransferase MET1. However, in contrast to mammals, plant imprints are created...
