TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined design rules for efficient gene silencing, in terms of both the proportion of independent transgenic plants showing silencing and the degree of silencing.

TL;DR: A generic vector is made that allows a simple, single PCR product from a gene of interest to be easily converted into a highly effective ihpRNA silencing construct, and a high-throughput vector that should facilitate the cloning of gene libraries or large numbers of defined genes, such as those in EST collections, using an in vitro recombinase system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-induced expression of a MYB gene regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in red apples.
TL;DR: It is concluded that MdMYB1 coordinately regulates genes in the anthocyanin pathway and the expression level of this regulator is the genetic basis for apple skin color.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the expression of anthocyanin pathway genes in developing Vitis vinifera L. cv Shiraz grape berries and the implications for pathway regulation
TL;DR: The results indicate that the onset of anthocyanin synthesis in ripening grape berry skins coincides with a coordinated increase in expression of a number of genes in the anthcyanin biosynthetic pathway, suggesting the involvement of regulatory genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
White grapes arose through the mutation of two similar and adjacent regulatory genes

TL;DR: In this article, the white berry allele of VvMYBA2 was inactivated by two non-conservative mutations, one leads to an amino acid substitution and the other to a frame shift resulting in a smaller protein.
