摘要: To understand how DNA sequence is translated to phenotype we must the epigenetic features that regulate gene expression. Recent research illuminates complex interactions between methylation, small RNAs, silencing of transposable elements, and genomic imprinting in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed. These studies suggest elements reactivated specific cells gametophyte seed might enhance germline embryo. By sacrificing integrity these make an rather than genetic contribution progeny. This could have implications for interspecies hybridization, evolution imprinting, communication from plant
