Abstract excerpt
Lack of pigmentation in seed coats of soybean is caused by natural RNA silencing of chalcone synthase (CHS) genes. This phenomenon is an evolutionary consequence of structural changes in DNA that resulted in the production of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that trigger RNA degradation. Here we determined that a mutant with pigmented seed coats derived from a cultivar that lacked the pigmentation had a deletion...
