Epigenetic Reprogramming During Plant Reproduction
Epigenetics is the study of heritable change in gene expression state that is independent of DNA sequence variation. Such change can occur through DNA methylation or posttranscriptional modifications of histon...

Open AccessHighly distinct chromosomal structures in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), as revealed by molecular cytogenetic analysis
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is an important legume, particularly in develo** countries. However, little is known about its genome or chromosome structure. We used molecular cytogenetics to characterize...
