The paper shows RNA Pol IV has opposing effects on endosperm gene expression depending on parental origin in Arabidopsis.

The paper sequences the water lily Nymphaea thermarum genome and compares it to other plants to identify gene loss and divergence patterns associated with vascular cambium loss.

The paper shows that paternal RdDM pathway activity determines viability of paternal excess seeds in Arabidopsis, with transcriptional buffering increasing maternal allele expression and repressing paternal alleles.

This study shows that epigenetic variation alone can cause imprinting variation and affect seed development phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The paper shows that RNA Pol IV mediates a maternal:paternal transcriptome ratio in Arabidopsis endosperm, with disruption causing maternally biased expression.
