DESCRIPTION:Plants differ from animals in their continuous development\, f
 lexible and reversible differentiation\, the absence of a germline\, and t
 he alternation of haploid and diploid generations. Despite these differenc
 es\, both plants and animals have evolved complex mechanisms that act to e
 nsure successful reproduction and\, after fertilization\, cause parent of 
 origin and chromosome dosage effects for specific genes. However\, only th
 e endosperm component of the seed in plants is regulated in such a manner\
 , while the embryo can escape such surveillance. Epigenetic information pr
 esent in plant gametes are responsible for parent of origin effects during
  endosperm development and might provide the basis for the distinct develo
 pmental pathways followed by the embryo and endosperm within the plant see
