Gene silencing in plants: relevance for genome evolution and the acquisition of genomic methylation patterns.
Novartis Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 1998
Matzke M A, Matzke A J
Abstract excerpt
Transgenes often become silenced in plants because of repressive influences exerted by flanking plant DNA and/or because of interactions among multiple copies of closely linked transgenes. Repeated transgenes on different chromosomes can also interact in a way that leads to silencing and methylat...
