Polyploidy-associated paramutation in Arabidopsis is determined by small RNAs, temperature, and allele structure.

Abstract excerpt

Paramutation is a form of non-Mendelian inheritance in which the expression of a paramutable allele changes when it encounters a paramutagenic allele. This change in expression of the paramutable alleles is stably inherited even after segregation of both alleles. While the discovery of paramutation and studies of its underlying mechanism were made with alleles that change plant pigmentation, paramutation-like...
