Evidence for non-DNA-based inheritance has been found in a particularly unstable plant gene, researchers suggest in Nature this week. Robert Pruitt and colleagues at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., found that Arabidopsis plants homozygous for recessive mutant alleles of particular gene may inherit genomic information that is not found in the parent plant, but that existed in earlier generations.
