Transgenerational effect of mutants in the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway on the triploid block in Arabidopsis
Abstract Background Hybridization of plants that differ in number of chromosome sets (ploidy) frequently causes endosperm failure and seed arrest, a phenomenon referred to as triploid block. In Arabidopsis, loss of function of NRPD1, encoding the largest subunit of the plant-specific RNA polymerase...
