This model illustrates how alleles of modifier and modified genes affect penetrance, dominance modification, expressivity and pleiotropy, and modulate the phenotypes of mutant organisms ...

Cell-type-specific DNA methylation in plants has only been studied for reproductive tissues. Now a study reports cell-type-specific methylomes of the Arabidopsis root meristem, providing insights ...

The team demonstrated the feasibility of using SCP to characterize the contents of two neighboring root cell types in Arabidopsis thaliana, a plant often used as a model for research.
