Exploring the world of RNA interference in plant functional genomics: A research tool for many biology phenomena

Abstract:

The discoveries of RNA interference (RNAi), known as remarkable process where specific genes are silenced by small noncoding RNAs, have revolutionized our understanding of gene regulation in plants and other organisms. Recently, RNAi is used as a tool for reduction of expression of several genes or to control de expression of specific genes in eukaryotic genome. The aim of this review is to underline the most contribution in the "world of RNAi" from biological mechanism to several applications in plant system. Copyright © 2008 Bucharest University.
