0 the quality of being variegated (= having a pattern of different colours):
The leaves are bold, with bright variegations of gold, yellow, cream, white, and silver.
This plant is valued for its striking architectural shape, its smart variegation, and its profuse flowering.
The green leaves are marbled and streaked with a variegation that resembles a tiger's stripes.
Thus, there may not be any clear progression in occurrence of variegation across the babbling period.
Thus, position-effect variegation may be responsible for the banding pattern we have observed, but future experiments are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
However, we did not find a correlation between the level of variegation at the whitemottled4 locus and permissivity or reactivity.
To study possible trans-effects on expression we compared hemizygous and homozygous mice for a transgene displaying position effect variegation in the mammary gland.
We show that this variegation is attributable to an unstable mutant allele of the gene encoding dihydroflavonol-4-reductase, one of the enzymes required for anthocyanin biosynthesis.
