Partial maintenance of organ-specific epigenetic marks during plant asexual reproduction leads to heritable phenotypic variation [Genetics]

Plants differ from animals in their capability to easily regenerate fertile adult individuals from terminally differentiated cells. This unique developmental plasticity is commonly observed in nature, where many species can reproduce asexually through the ectopic initiation of organogenic or embryogenic developmental programs. While organ-specific epigenetic marks are not passed on...
