| Research Abstract |
Gene silencing by DNA fragment of the NEO1 gene(DNAi) is induced in fern by cytosine methylation and histon H3 deacetylation and recovered by a histone deacetylation inhibitor, indicating that DNAi is induced by histone deacetylation and transferred to the next generation. To show the effectiveness of DNAi in other genes, KAC gene that is indispensable in chloroplast movement in Arabidopsis was introduced. Chloroplasts came apart from the plasma membrane and aggregated. The results showed the DNAi effectiveness in other gene.
