Abstract |
Argonaute (AGO) proteins are core elements in plant posttranscriptional RNA silencing pathways. The identification and functional characterization of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) AGOs will help to better understand RNA silencing-based posttranscriptional regulation in fleshy fruits. Here we describe how to identify and clone SlAGO genes, as well as the methodology for their functional characterization. |
