ENHANCEMENT OF GENE EXPRESSION

A method for enhancing the expression of a selected gene in an organism while avoiding or reducing co-suppression involves the synthesis of a DNA which is altered in nucleotide sequence and is capable of expression of a protein, ideally identical to that of a protein already expressed by a DNA alrea...

Summary:A method for enhancing the expression of a selected gene in an organism while avoiding or reducing co-suppression involves the synthesis of a DNA which is altered in nucleotide sequence and is capable of expression of a protein, ideally identical to that of a protein already expressed by a DNA already present in the organism. This method ensures that sequence similarity between the two genes is reduced enough to eliminate the phenomenon of co-suppression, allowing the over-expression of a specific protein. The method is particularly suitable in plants.
