3 GENE SILENCING. Developmental and physiological programs, control of transposons mobility (de novo DNA and histone methylation, heterochromatin establishment) Defense mechanism against viruses

4 Gene silencing pathways nt 24 nt (TGS, 24 nt) nucleus (PTGS nt) cytoplasm Li and Ding., 2006

5 EPIGENETICS The term epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that does not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence; a change in phenotype without a change in genotype. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence but can also be influenced by several factors including age, the environment/lifestyle, and disease state.

VIGS serves as a powerful tool for studying gene functions and metabolic pathways. VIGS vectors are mainly derived from viruses such as tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), potato virus X (PVX), tobacco rattle virus (TRV), cabbage leaf curl virus (CaLCuV), tomato yellow leaf curl china virus (TYLCV) Tiwari et al., 2014 Unver and Budak 2009

31 RNA-directed DNA methylation and biotechnology Primary DNA sequence is not altered. DNA methylation is highly specific. DNA methylation is heritable. DNA methylation is reversible Non coding RNA from promoters avoid the production of allergenic peptides.
