Abstract excerpt
Gene silencing is crucial in crop breeding for desired trait development. RNA interference (RNAi) has been used widely but is limited by ectopic expression of transgenes and genetic instability. Introducing an upstream start codon (uATG) into the 5'untranslated region (5'UTR) of a target gene may 'silence' the target gene by inhibiting protein translation from the primary start codon (pATG). Here, we report an...
