NUCLEIC ACID AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCES ENCODING A <i>DE NOVO</i> DNA METHYLTRANSFERASE

摘要

The present invention provides nucleic acids encoding polypeptides which encode a de novo DNA methyltransferase. These nucleic acids can be used to stabilize transgene expression in transgenic plants, to alter the yield or biochemical qualities of plants to silencing targeted genes in plants in vivo.
