摘要:RNA silencing has recently gain momentum in the scientific world mainly due to its sequencing-specific gene inactivation that is conserved in among various organism including animals and plants. In fruit crops, various mechanism such as virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), DNA methylation, Ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) and Anti-sense mediated gene silencing has been reported. These epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are highly useful in fruit crops as it suppresses or silences gene responsible for undesirable morpho-agronomic characters.
