Genomic imprinting is crucial for seed development in flowering plants. This chapter reviews current knowledge and the history of its study in plants.

Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Developmental biology
  • Epigenetics

Background:

  • Genomic imprinting, a phenomenon where genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner, is well-documented in mammals.
  • Its significant role in seed development within flowering plants has been recognized for some time.
  • Understanding imprinting in plants is key to comprehending their reproductive biology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of genomic imprinting in flowering plants.
  • To trace the historical development of knowledge in this field.
  • To consolidate current understanding for researchers and students.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of established research on plant genomic imprinting.
  • Historical analysis of key discoveries and studies.
