Abstract excerpt
It has been shown in tobacco and Arabidopsis that transgenes with multiple direct repeats induce RNA silencing at high frequency. In this study, we tried to establish a direct repeat-induced RNA silencing system in maize and evaluate whether it can be developed as a high throughput tool for functional genomics. Our results showed that the construct phC4, which carries four direct repeats of a chloramphenicol...
