Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method of
silencing gene expression in a range of organisms. The silencing of a gene is a …

Gene expression in plants can be suppressed in a sequencespecific manner by infection
with virus vectors carrying fragments of host genes. Recent developments have revealed …

Post‐transcriptional silencing of plant genes using anti‐sense or co‐suppression constructs
usually results in only a modest proportion of silenced individuals. Recent work has …

Posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants results from the degradation of mRNAs
and shows phenomenological similarities with quelling in fungi and RNAi in animals. Here …

Posttranscriptional gene silencing is a defense mechanism in plants that is similar to
quelling in fungi and RNA interference in animals. Here, we describe four genetic loci that …

2008 NOMINEE The Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries Annual Award for a
Significant Work in Botanical or Horticultural Literature From medicinal, industrial, and …

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has recently been shown to trigger sequence-specific gene
silencing in a wide variety of organisms, including nematodes, plants, trypanosomes, fruit …

We have genetically modified the fatty acid composition of cottonseed oil using the recently
developed technique of hairpin RNA-mediated gene silencing to down-regulate the seed …

Introduction of transgene DNA may lead to specific degradation of RNAs that are
homologous to the transgene transcribed sequence through phenomena named post …

It has long been thought that sequence-specific PTGS required a nucleic acid polymer to
guide mRNA cleavage.[35] The presence of an antisense RNA species complementary to …
