--- res: bibo_abstract: - Genomic imprinting, an inherently epigenetic phenomenon defined by parent of origin-dependent gene expression, is observed in mammals and flowering plants. Genome-scale surveys of imprinted expression and the underlying differential epigenetic marks have led to the discovery of hundreds of imprinted plant genes and confirmed DNA and histone methylation as key regulators of plant imprinting. However, the biological roles of the vast majority of imprinted plant genes are unknown, and the evolutionary forces shaping plant imprinting remain rather opaque. Here, we review the mechanisms of plant genomic imprinting and discuss theories of imprinting evolution and biological significance in light of recent findings.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jessica A. foaf_name: Rodrigues, Jessica A. foaf_surname: Rodrigues - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Daniel foaf_name: Zilberman, Daniel foaf_surname: Zilberman foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=6973db13-dd5f-11ea-814e-b3e5455e9ed1 orcid: 0000-0002-0123-8649 bibo_doi: 10.1101/gad.269902.115 bibo_issue: '24' bibo_volume: 29 dct_date: 2015^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0890-9369 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1549-5477 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press@ dct_title: Evolution and function of genomic imprinting in plants@ fabio_hasPubmedId: '26680300' ...
