Abstract excerpt
Artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) are similar to microRNAs (miRNAs) in that they are able to reduce the abundance of specific transcripts in plants by RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)-mediated cleavage and degradation, but differ in that they are designed for specific targets. The long generation times of forest trees have limited the discovery of mutations by conventional genetics. AmiRNAs can create...
