Identification and characterization of genes involved in the biogenesis of small RNAs in rice, «Oryza sativa L»

T-DNA and chemically mutagenized rice lines were used in a reverse genetic approach to investigate the role(s) of small RNA in rice, Oryza sativa L. T-DNA tagged lines of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 (Osrdr6) were homozygous lethal. However, a T-DNA line with disrupted expression of the gene e...
