Abstract excerpt
It has long been known that Pro35S-driven sense transgenes have a high propensity to undergo posttranscriptional gene silencing (S-PTGS). However, what exactly conditions S-PTGS initiation and amplification to make it systemic remains unknown. Through genetic screens, we show that antagonistic chromatin-related mutations enhancing and reducing transgene expression result in enhanced and reduced S-PTGS...
