COORDINATED DECREASE AND INCREASE OF GENE EXPRESSION OF MORE THAN ONE GENE USING TRANSGENIC CONSTRUCTS

摘要

The present invention is directed to nucleic acid molecules and nucleic acid constructs, and other agents associated with simultaneous up- and down-regulation of expression of RNAs. Specifically it includes methods of simultaneously enhancing the expression of a first RNA at the same time as suppressing the expression of a second RNA. The present invention also specifically provides constructs capable of simultaneously enhancing the expression of a first RNA while at the same time suppressing the expression of a second RNA, methods for utilizing such agents and plants containing such agents. The present invention also provides other constructs including polycistronic constructs.
