A Small RNA Pathway Mediates Allelic Dosage in Endosperm

Summary: Balance between maternal and paternal genomes within the triploid endosperm is necessary for normal seed development. The majority of endosperm genes are expressed in a 2:1 maternal:paternal ratio, reflecting genomic DNA content. Here, we find that the 2:1 transcriptional ratio is, unexpect...
