Efficient silencing of reporter transgenes coupled to known functional promoters in sugarcane, a highly polyploid crop species.

Abstract excerpt

Sugarcane is a crop of great interest for engineering of sustainable biomaterials and biofuel production. Isolated sugarcane promoters have generally not maintained the expected patterns of reporter transgene expression. This could arise from defective promoters on redundant alleles in the highly polyploid genome, or from efficient transgene silencing. To resolve this question we undertook detailed analysis of a...
