Transcription activity of rRNA genes correlates with a tendency towards intergenomic homogenization in Nicotiana allotetraploids

This paper establishes relationships between two aspects of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) biology: epigenetic silencing of rDNA loci; and homogenization leading to concerted evolution. Here, we examined rDNA inheritance and expression patterns in three natural Nicotiana allopolyploids (closest living descend...
