Just out in PNAS: Transposable elements and small RNAs contribute to gene expression divergence between Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata, by Hollister, Smith, Guo, Ott, Weigel & Gaut.… Read the rest
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and hairpin RNA interference (hpRNAi), both of which rely on small interfering RNAs, together with artificial microRNAs (amiRNA), are amongst the most popular methods for reduction of gene activity in plants.
However, all three approaches have … Read the rest
