DSRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression in plants

The present invention relates to methods to alter the expression of a target gene in a plant using sense and antisense RNA fragments of the gene. The sense and antisense RNA fragments are capable of pairing and forming a double-stranded RNA molecule, thereby altering the expression of the gene. The...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to methods to alter the expression of a target gene in a plant using sense and antisense RNA fragments of the gene. The sense and antisense RNA fragments are capable of pairing and forming a double-stranded RNA molecule, thereby altering the expression of the gene. The present invention also relates to plants, their progeny and seeds derived thereof, obtained using a method of the present invention.
