Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting of rye origin rDNA sequences in triticale is modulated by DNA methylation responsible for ontogenic expression patterns of those sequences. Considering the dynamic nature of these phenomena, we evaluated the influence of plant development on the inheritance of modified rye rDNA expression patterns. DNA hypomethylation was induced in triticale by 5-azacytidine (5AC) treatments at distinct...
