A Non-Rogue Mutant Line Induced by ENU Mutagenesis in Paramutated Rogue Peas (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.) Is Still Sensitive to the Rogue Paramutation

The spontaneously emerging rogue phenotype in peas (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.), characterized by narrow and pointed leaf stipula and leaflets, was the first identified case of the epigenetic phenomenon paramutation. The crosses of homozygous or heterozygous (e.g., F1) rogue plants with non...
