Abstract excerpt
RNAi is a powerful method for generating loss of function mutants, especially for targeting genes belonging to large gene families. We have recently shown that RNAi functions in the moss Physcomitrella patens. We obtained stable lines that show constitutive silencing of a nuclearly localized GFP:GUS fusion protein (NLS:GFP:GUS). However, lines that display silencing of the protein do not necessarily have reduced...
