Splayed : a chromatin remodeler regulating tissue specific gene silencing and developmental timing [PDF]
A number of mechanisms that contribute to epigenetic regulation of gene expression have been described in plants. The concert actions of these mechanisms contribute to proper patterning of gene expression within organs and tissues, therefore insuring ...

MIGS as a Simple and Efficient Method for Gene Silencing in Rice
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
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.

Nicotiana benthamiana plants expressing Brome mosaic virus (BMV) p2 protein complemented replication of RNAs1+3 but, surprisingly, supported little or no replication of RNA-2. Despite this, the p2 transgenic plants were able to support systemic migration

Internuclear gene silencing in Phytophthora infestans is established through chromatin remodelling
In the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans, nuclear integration of inf1 transgenic DNA sequences results in internuclear gene silencing of inf1. Although silencing is regulated at the transcriptional level, it also affects transcription from other ...
