Abstract

A basic dogma of classical Mendelian genetics is that the alleles of a gene are inherited stably from one generation to the next, leading to predictable segregation. A work by Robert Pruitt’s group from the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Purdue University [Lolle et al., Nature 434, 505-509 (2005)], seems to challenge this principle. The initial observations that suggested unorthodox inheritance took place with the HOTHEAD (hth) mutants of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana
