Sexual epigenetics: gender-specific methylation of a gene in the sex determining region of Populus balsamifera

Methylation has frequently been implicated in gender determination in plants. The recent discovery of the sex determining region (SDR) of balsam poplar, Populus balsamifera, pinpointed 13 genes with differentiated X and Y copies. We tested these genes for differential methylation using whole methylo...
