RNA silencing suppression

摘要

The invention provides methods of suppressing gene silencing and/or stabilizing expression of a coding sequence in a cell comprising expressing a 126 kDa protein and/or the 183 kDa protein of a subgroup sindbis plant virus in the cell. The invention can thus be used to avoid the deleterious effects of gene silencing in a cell. Also provided by the invention are methods of delivering a polypeptide of interest to a limited part of a plant.
