Environmental programming of heritable epigenetic changes in paramutant r-gene expression using temperature and light at a specific stage of early development in maize seedlings.

Abstract excerpt

Different heritable expression-states were programmed into R alleles from R/R-1st heterozygotes under different temperature conditions applied during a developmental period in which flowering is induced. At maturity, R-allele expressions in test crosses of male gametes derived from R/R-1st seedlings raised 15 days in 32 degrees and continuous light conditions differed significantly from those of sib seedlings...
