Abstract excerpt
Plant transgenes may participate in two types of homology-based gene silencing. One requires transcript homology, is post-transcriptional, and is referred to as cosuppression; the other requires promoter homology, is transcriptional, and is similar to paramutation. This paper uses flower color transgenes to address the hierarchical operation of both mechanisms in plants carrying two transgene copies. It is shown...
