Record 2 2012-11-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Biology
  • Genetics
CONT

In plants, the introduction of an extra copy of a gene by genetic engineering often results in the opposite of the intended result : instead of increasing gene expression, the introduction gene suppresses its own expression and that of the original, resident copy of the gene. This phenomenon is known as co-suppression.

Suite à la découverte de ce phénomène, un autre type d'inactivation de transgènes a été rapporté, mais pour lequel le terme «cosuppression» n'était plus approprié, les gènes introduits n'ayant pas d'équivalents dans la plante.
