Endosperm-specific demethylation and activation of specific alleles of alpha-tubulin genes of Zea mays L.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 20 Mar 1995

Lund G, Messing J, Viotti A

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the methylation status of the alpha-tubulin genes, and the degree of accumulation of their mRNAs in endosperm, embryo and seedling tissues of Zea mays L. We have found that many of the alpha-tubulin genes are differentially demethylated in the endosperm relative to the embryo and seedling. However, only for tub alpha 2 and tub alpha 4 could a correlation between DNA demethylation and...
