Abstract excerpt
Heritable DNA methylation variation is frequently observed in natural populations of plants, but is thought mostly to be functionally inconsequential. An exception to this is the "Peloria" mutant of Linaria vulgaris, which was originally described by Carl von Linné in 1744. A study in 1999 found that the Peloria phenotype is caused by an epiallele of the L. vulgaris cycloidea homolog Lcyc that showed increased...
