Modification of seed oil composition in Arabidopsis by artificial microRNA-mediated gene silencing
Various post transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) strategies have been developed and exploited to study gene function or engineer disease resistance. The recently-developed artificial microRNA (amiRNA) strategy is an alternative method of effectively silencing target genes. The ∆12-desaturase (FAD2...
