Epigenetic modifications potentially controlling the allelic expression of imprinted genes in sunflower endosperm

Abstract Background Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon mainly occurs in endosperm of flowering plants. Genome-wide identification of imprinted genes have been completed in several dicot Cruciferous plant and monocot crops. Results Here, we analyzed global patterns of allelic gene express...
