Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The ecological and evolutionary significance of natural epigenetic variation (i.e., not based on DNA sequence variants) variation will depend critically on whether epigenetic states are transmitted from parents to offspring, but little is known on epigenetic inheritance in nonmodel plants. METHODS: We present a quantitative analysis of transgenerational transmission of global DNA cytosine...
