  • TRANSCRIPTIONAL GENE SILENCING OF ENDOGENES IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20150252375
    Abstract: The present invention relates to transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of endogenes in plants, plant tissue and plant cells. More specifically, the present invention relates to nucleic acid constructs that are capable of TGS of endogenes in plants, plant tissue and plant cells. The present invention further relates to methods of reducing endogenous gene expression in plants, plant tissues or plant cells by TGS using the nucleic acid constructs of the invention.
