Abstract

involved should eventually allow gene technology to be used more effec- tively to improve crop plants. Sense suppression has even proved advan- tageous when inactivation of specific genes is requiredz*. From a theor- etical standpoint, it is satisfying to witness the coalescence of plant re- search and work on related homology- dependent phenomena from diverse organisms. Together, these obser- vations should enrich our under- standing of both various epigenetic processes and the role of repetitive sequences in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression.
