Abstract excerpt

The promoter homology-dependent inactivation of a 35Spro-hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene, which is present at the H2 locus, by the multipurpose 271 silencing locus has been studied. The 271 locus can silence any gene under the control of the 35Spro as well as endogenous nitrite reductase...
