8. 後轉錄基因靜默化 PTGS（post-transcriptionalgenesilencing）又名為 RNA靜默化（RNA silencing），被認為是真核生物所演化出的種對抗外來基因 The Mechanism of RNA Interference (RNAi) Since the only RNA found in a cell should be single stranded, the presence of double stranded RNA signals is an abnormality. The cell has a specific enzyme (in Drosophila it is called Dicer) that recognizes the double stranded RNA and chops it up into small fragments between 21-25 base pairs in length. These short RNA fragments (called small interfering RNA, or siRNA) bind to the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The RISC is activated when the siRNA unwinds and the activated complex binds to the corresponding mRNA using the antisense RNA. The RISC contains an enzyme to cleave the bound mRNA (called Slicer in Drosophila) and therefore cause gene suppression. Once the mRNA has been cleaved, it can no longer be translated into functional protein http://www.bioteach.ubc.ca/MolecularBiology/AntisenseRNA/

10. Methods • Analysis of transgenic plants • PCR analysis • PCR-Southern

11. Results Fig. 1. Transgene (antisense-Rep)-induced silencing of Tomato leaf curl virus: (B) phenotypic alterations caused by transgene-induced silencing of virus and recovery of plant from viral infection; (C) molecular analysis of post-transcriptionally silenced (transformedrecovered) and non-silenced (non-transformed-regenerated); designated by _ respectively; PCR using specific primers for ToLCV-CP amplification (_750 bp)in transformed-recovered,non-transformed-regenerated and infected positive control (C) to determine the presence of virions; Southern and Northern blot analyses to demonstrate the presence of viral genome in non-silenced and positive control infected plant and 21–25 ntd long siRNA in silenced plants using different probes indicated in the left. Numbers below indicate individual representatives of silenced and non-silenced plants.

12. Discussion • ToLCV-infected tomato plants containing antisense Rep gene construct • 作者以他設計的實驗證明其Rep of ToLCV antisense gene 會使ToLCV病毒Rep gene silence
