Tzung-Fu Hsieh; Juhyun Shin; Rie Uzawa; et al. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 2011. doi:10.1073/pnas.1019273108
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Sequencing of cDNA libraries identified 9 paternally expressed imprinted genes in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm.
- Observation Sequencing of cDNA libraries identified 34 maternally expressed imprinted genes in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm.
- Mechanism The identified imprinted genes in A. thaliana endosperm are regulated by DEMETER, MET1 and/or FIE.
- Observation The imprinted genes encode transcription factors, hormone-signaling proteins and ubiquitin-degradation pathway components.
- Observation Some maternally expressed genes may be regulated by unknown mechanisms or deposited from maternal tissues.
- Observation No imprinted genes were detected in the embryo.
- Observation Imprinted gene expression is extensive and mechanistically complex and likely affects multiple aspects of seed development.
