This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive collection of reviews
on various aspects of epigenetic gene silencing in plants. Research
on this topic has undergone explosive growth during the past decade
and has revealed novel features of gene regulation and plant
defense responses that also apply to animals and fungi. Gene
silencing is relevant for agricultural biotechnology because stable
expression of transgenes is required for the successful
commercialization of genetically engineered crops. The reviews have
been written by distinguished authors who have made significant
contributions to plant gene silencing research. This volume
supersedes other books on gene silencing by focussing on plant
systems, where many pioneering experiments have been performed, and
by including the latest developments from top laboratories. The
book is geared toward advanced students of genetics and plant
sciences as well as applied and basic research scientists who work
with transgenic organisms and epigenetic regulation of gene
expression.
