Different effects on ACC oxidase gene silencing triggered by RNA interference in transgenic tomato
RNA interference (RNAi) is a potent trigger for specific gene silencing of expression in a number of organisms and is an efficient way of shutting down gene expression. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) ...
