Virus-induced paramutation. a Tobacco Rattle Virus modified to contain a 500-bp H06 fragment. b DNA methylation in the progeny of the V0 infected plant that gave methylated offspring, assessed by McrBC (n = 59 V1 plants). V1 methylation patterns were stable in the V2 generation (n = 4, 3, 4 and 4 for V2_1 to V2_4), and exhibited weak paramutagenicity in backcrosses to M82 (V1BC1, n = 10 for both V1_3 × M82 and V1_4 × M82). c H06 methylation of a V1 plant assessed by Sanger bisulfite sequencing (9 independent clones)
