Abstract excerpt
The heterotic hybrid offspring of Arabidopsis accessions C24 and Landsberg erecta have altered methylomes. Changes occur most frequently at loci where parental methylation levels are different. There are context-specific biases in the nonadditive methylation patterns with (m)CG generally increased and (m)CHH decreased relative to the parents. These changes are a result of two main mechanisms, Trans Chromosomal...
