Abstract excerpt
Gene silencing in plants inactivates trans-genes introduced into plants and/or endogenous homologous genes. This stable but potentially reversible loss of gene activity resembles epigenetic changes that occur in normal development. The stability of silencing implies the involvement of trans-acting components, although none of them have been identified so far. Here we report the finding of second-site mutations...
