Abstract excerpt
Transgenic Petunia plants with a chsA coding sequence under the control of a 35S promoter sometimes lose endogene and transgene chalcone synthase activity and purple flower pigment through posttranscriptional chsA RNA degradation. In these plants, shorter poly(A)+ and poly(A)- chsA RNAs are found...
