Abstract excerpt
Current efforts aim to functionally characterize each gene in model plants. Frequently, however, no morphological or biochemical phenotype can be ascribed for antisense or knock-out plant genotypes. This is especially the case when gene suppression or knockout is targeted to isoenzymes or gene families. Consequently, pleiotropic effects and gene redundancy are responsible for phenotype resistance. Here,...
