Gene silencing in potato: allelic differences and effect of ploidy.
Plant molecular biology - 1 Jun 2000
Wolters A M, Visser R G
Abstract excerpt
Silencing of genes is mostly studied in diploid, homozygous, self-fertile and sexually propagated species. However, conclusions drawn for these species are not always applicable to crops like potato, which is an autotetraploid, highly heterozygous, vegetatively propagated species. Factors influencing the level of silencing in potato are discussed, with emphasis on inhibition of the granule-bound starch synthase I...
