Abstract excerpt
A transgene carrying a distal enhancer element of the maize P1-rr promoter caused silencing of an endogenous P1-rr allele in the progeny of transgenic maize plants. Expression of both the transgene and the endogenous P1-rr allele was reduced in the affected plants. The silenced phenotype was observed in the progeny of seven of eight crosses involving three independent transgenic events tested (average frequency...
