Abstract
Medea, the often-misunderstood Greek mythological figure infamous for killing her own offspring, influenced the naming of the first imprinted gene identified in the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. MEDEA (MEA) shows exclusive maternal expression and is required for normal seed development. Maternal inheritance of a mea mutant allele leads to seed abortion, while there is no effect on seed viability when the mea allele is transmitted paternally. MEA is regulated by genomic imprinting, a form of epigenetic gene regulation that resul
