DNA Methylation Silences Exogenous Gene Expression in Transgenic Birch Progeny

DNA Methylation Silences Exogenous Gene Expression in Transgenic Birch Progeny

The genetic stability of exogenous genes in the progeny of transgenic trees is extremely important in forest breeding; however, it remains largely unclear. We selected transgenic birch (Betula platyphylla) and its hybrid F1 progeny to investigate the expression stability and silencing mechanism of e...
