  abstract = {{D}efining the contributions and interactions of paternal and maternal genomes during embryo development is critical to understand the fundamental processes involved in hybrid vigor, hybrid sterility, and reproductive isolation. {T}o determine the parental contributions and their regulation during {A}rabidopsis embryogenesis, we combined deep-sequencing-based {RNA} profiling and genetic analyses. {A}t the 2-4 cell stage there is a strong, genome-wide dominance of maternal transcripts, although transcripts are contributed by both parental genomes. {A}t the globular stage the relative paternal contribution is higher, largely due to a gradual activation of the paternal genome. {W}e identified two antagonistic maternal pathways that control these parental contributions. {P}aternal alleles are initially downregulated by the chromatin si{RNA} pathway, linked to {DNA} and histone methylation, whereas transcriptional activation requires maternal activity of the histone chaperone complex {CAF}1. {O}ur results define maternal epigenetic pathways controlling the parental contributions in plant embryos, which are distinct from those regulating genomic imprinting.},
