Abstract excerpt
Transitive silencing and grafting-induced gene silencing phenomena were combined to investigate whether a primary target beta-glucuronidase (gus) gene could promote the generation of systemic transitive silencing signals. Tobacco plants with hemizygous or homozygous silencer locus and in trans silenced primary target were used as a source of post-transcriptionally silenced rootstocks and tobacco plants with or...
