DICER-LIKE KNOCK-OUT PLANT CELLS

摘要

DICER-liker knock-out plant cells are provided. Accordingly, there is provided an isolated plant cell in suspension comprising loss of function mutations in all alleles of at least two genes selected from the group consisting of DCL2, DCL4, RDR1, RDR2 and RDR6 in said plant cell. Also provided are methods of abolishing expression and/or activity of at least two genes selected from the group consisting of DCL2, DCL4, RDR1, RDR2 and RDR6 in a plant cell.
