A Petunia homeodomain-leucine zipper protein, PhHD-Zip, plays an important role in flower senescence. [PDF]
, 2014 Flower senescence is initiated by developmental and environmental signals, and regulated by gene transcription. A homeodomain-leucine zipper transcription factor, PhHD-Zip, is up-regulated during petunia flower senescence. Virus-induced gene silencing of

The post-transcriptional gene silencing pathway in Eucalyptus
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005 Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a conserved surveillance mechanism that identifies and cleaves double-stranded RNA molecules and their cellular cognate transcripts.

SUVH1, a Su(var)3-9 family member, promotes the expression of genes targeted by DNA methylation. [PDF]
, 2015 Transposable elements are found throughout the genomes of all organisms. Repressive marks such as DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation silence these elements and maintain genome integrity.

Insights into the kinetics of siRNA-mediated gene silencing from live-cell and live-animal bioluminescent imaging [PDF]
, 2006 Small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules are potent effectors of post-transcriptional gene silencing. Using noninvasive bioluminescent imaging and a mathematical model of siRNA delivery and function, the effects of target-specific and treatment-specific ...

A universal primer for isolation of fragments of a gene encoding phytoene desaturase for use in virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) studies [PDF]
, 2010 We have been using Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) to test the function of genes that are candidates for involvement in floral senescence. Although VIGS is a powerful tool for assaying the effects of gene silencing in plants, relatively few taxa have

MIGS as a Simple and Efficient Method for Gene Silencing in Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 MiRNA-induced gene silencing (MIGS) technology is a special kind of RNA interference technology that uses miR173 to mediate the production of trans-acting siRNA (ta-siRNA) to achieve target gene silencing.

Visible gland constantly traces virus-induced gene silencing in cotton
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 A virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system was established to induce endogenous target gene silencing by post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), which is a powerful tool for gene function analysis in plants.

Oligonucleotide sequences forming short self-complimentary hairpins can expedite the down-regulation of Coprinopsis cinerea genes [PDF]
, 2008 Gene silencing in fungi is often induced by dsRNA hairpin forming constructs the preparation of which can require multiple cloning steps. To simplify gene silencing in the filamentous fungi we have evaluated a high throughput cloning method for target ...
