Point Mutations in Centromeric Histone Induce Post-zygotic Incompatibility and Uniparental Inheritance.

The centromeric histone 3 variant (CENH3, aka CENP-A) is essential for the segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis and meiosis. To better define CENH3 functional constraints, we complemented a null allele in Arabidopsis with a variety of mutant alleles, each inducing a single amino acid chan...
