Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis accessions Col-0 and C24 and their reciprocal hybrids were employed as a model system to investigate the potential relationship between changes in DNA methylation, chromatin structure, endopolyploidization and gene expression in heterotic genotypes. Nucleolus size, endopolyploidization level and distribution of DNA and histone H3 methylation at the microscopic level does not differ between parents and...
