Abstract excerpt
When a gene encoding the Schizosaccharomyces pombe dsRNA-specific RNase III, pac1, was expressed in transgenic tobacco plants, six out of thirteen transformed plants gave progeny among which were individuals displaying a distinctive chlorotic phenotype. These chlorotic plants strongly resemble those transformed with a 35S-Nii (nitrite reductase) transgene, in which both Nii host genes and the 35S-Nii transgene...
