Inheritance of DNA methylation patterns at the Copia45 (AT4G37705) locus. (A) Hybridization signals of methylation profiling at Copia45 region for wild type, met1-3, epi01, epi12, and epi28. The parental assignment of informative tiles is provided below each signal graph of epiRILs (color-coded as in Fig. 4A; purple hybridization signal intensity). (B) HpaII restriction map of the Copia45 locus. The diagnostic HpaII site is marked by an asterisk in A and B. (C) Validation of the Copia45 methylation profiles by Southern blot analyses of F8 generation using HpaII-digested DNA isolated from 10 siblings per sample. (D) Southern blot revealing variation of DNA methylation patterns among F8 siblings. (E) Inheritance of DNA methylation patterns to F9 progeny. Four to five progeny (marked 1 to 5) were analyzed for each F8 progenitor plant (marked above the blot).
