IS THERE GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN ISOETES PANTIL ? | BIONATURE

The only living plant where heterospory is known to occur in one and the same sporangium is Soetes pantii, an aquatic lycopod whose origin is thought to be from natural hybridization between I. Coromandelina and I. Sampathkumarini. This article implies that sudden hypomethylation of DNA facilitated genomic imprinting in this Quillwort based on Southern blot hybridization and DNA methylation investigations.
