Abstract excerpt
Gene redundancy is frequently found in higher plants and complicates genetic analysis. In this study, a method referred to as 'differential RNA interference (dRNAi)' was used to investigate the psbP gene family in Nicotiana tabacum. PsbP is a membrane-extrinsic subunit of PSII and plays important roles in the water splitting reaction. N. tabacum has four psbP isogenes and the function of each isogene has not yet...
