Parent-of-origin specific allelic expression in outbreeding Arabidopsis arenosa identifies antagonistic parental enrichment in protein degradation pathways.

In plants, the epigenetic phenomenon of parent-of-origin allele-specific expression occurs mainly in the triploid endosperm. Although well studied in inbreeding Arabidopsis thaliana, genomic imprinting has been less investigated in outcrossers. In order to investigate a wider role of parental-specific allelic expressio...
