Plant Cell 19 (2007) 94-106. This study analyzed S locus alleles in A. thaliana and found not only diversity of haplotypes that sort into three major groups, but also that independent inactivating mutations appear to be responsible for loss of S locus function in different strains.

Presents strong evidence that improper imprinting due to epigenetic misregulation is causally related to genome dose-dependent seed lethality in A. thaliana × A. arenosa hybrids. Furthermore, activation of a certain transposon is shown to be parent specific and also affected by relative parental genome dosage.
