Abstract
Paramutation is an allelic interaction that results in meiotically her itable changes in gene expression. Until recently, the few documented cases in higher plants seemed unusual and rare. This perception is rap idly fading because of the discovery of related examples and the growi ng recognition of epigenetic changes in a wide variety of biological s ystems.
