REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION IN PLANT CELLS

摘要

The invention relates to gene cassette constructs for expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest. The nucleic acid sequence of interest produces an RNA transcript that is an anti-sense RNA molecule complementary to an endogenously expressed gene of the host cell. Also included are transgenic plants expressing the nucleic acid sequence of interest, and transgenic plant cells, tissues and plants having altered phenotypes resulting from the expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest in an anti-sense orientation.
