Abstract excerpt
Polyploidy is widespread in plants, allowing the different copies of genes to be expressed differently in a tissue-specific or developmentally specific way. This allele-specific expression (ASE) has been widely reported, but the proportion and nature of genes showing this characteristic have not been well defined. We now report an analysis of the frequency and patterns of ASE at the whole-genome level in the...
