Using Maternally Inherited Haploid Tissue to Resolve Parental Alleles: Investigating Genomic Imprinting in Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris)

Robert Kesälahti, Sandra Cervantes, Alina K. Niskanen, Tanja Pyhäjärvi

This study investigates genomic imprinting in Scots pine using haploid megagametophyte tissue to resolve parental alleles, finding no evidence of imprinting in conifers.
