Abstract

▪ Abstract Epigenetic silencing of transgenes and endogenous genes can occur at the transcriptional level (TGS) or at the posttranscriptional level (PTGS). Because they can be induced by transgenes and viruses, TGS and PTGS probably reflect alternative (although not exclusive) responses to two important stress factors that the plant's genome has to face: the stable integration of additional DNA into chromosomes and the extrachromosomal replication of a viral genome. TGS, which results from the impairment of transcription initiation through methylation and/or chromatin condensation, could derive from the mechanisms by which transposed copies of mobile elements and T-DNA insertions are tamed. PTGS, which results from the degradation of mRNA when aberrant sense, antisense, or double-stranded forms of RNA are produced, could derive from the process of recovery by which cells eliminate pathogens (RNA viruses) or their undesirable products (RNA encoded by DNA viruses). Mechanisms involving DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, or RNA-RNA interactions are discussed to explain the various pathways for triggering (trans)gene silencing in plants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
