Project Title
- Highly Specific Gene Silencing by Artificial miRNAs in Rice
The Background of This Project
- Endogenous microRNAs (miRNAs) are potent negative regulators of gene expression in plants and animals.Artificial miRNAs (amiRNAs)–designed to target one or several genes of interest–provide a new and highly specific approach for effective post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants.
