Induction efficiency of transcriptional gene silencing in six endogenous genes
| Target gene | Expression profile | TGS plants/regenerated plants (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Calnexin (CNX) | Constitutive | 44/66 (66.7%) |
| OsbZIP50 | ER stress–inducible | 26/41 (63.4%) |
| α‐Globulin (Glb‐1) | Endosperm‐specific | 6/57 (10.5%) |
| Glutelin B4 (GluB4) | Endosperm‐specific | 37/56 (66.1%) |
| Protein disulphide isomerase like 1‐1 (PDIL1‐1) | Constitutive | 11/33 (33.3%) |
| Luminal binding protein (OsBiP1) | Constitutive + ER stress–inducible | a62/92 (67.4%) |
