Abstract excerpt
The expression of ribosomal protein genes is coordinately regulated in bacteria, yeast, and vertebrates, so that equimolar amounts of ribosomal proteins accumulate for assembly into ribosomes. To understand how expression of ribosomal protein genes is regulated in plants, we altered expression of the large subunit ribosomal protein L3 (RPL3) genes in Nicotiana tabacum using post-transcriptional gene silencing...
