"We previously demonstrated that allopolyploidization could induce phenotypic variations and genome changes in a newly synthesized allotetraploid in Cucumis. To explore the molecular involvement of epigenetic phenomena, we investigated cytosine methylation in Cucumis by using methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP)," scientists in Nanjing, People's Republic of China report. "Results revealed a twofold difference in the level of cytosine methylation between the reciprocal F-1 hybrids and the allotetraploid. Analysis of the methylation pattern indicated that methylation changed at 2.0% to 6.4% of total sites in both the F-1 hybrids and the allotetraploid...
