Abstract excerpt
In plants, epigenetic variation contributes to phenotypic differences in developmental traits. At the mechanistic level, this variation is conferred by DNA methylation and histone modifications. We describe several examples in which changes in gene expression caused by variation in DNA methylation lead to alterations in plant development. In these examples, the presence of repeated sequences or transposons within...
