Abstract:
1. A plant stably transformed with an expression cassette comprising a promoter expressible in a plant cell, said promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding an rgs-CaM protein, wherein said polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a nucleotide sequence that encodes the polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; (c) a nucleotide sequence having at least 95% identity to the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, wherein said rgs-CaM protein comprises post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) suppressing activity; and (d) a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide having at least 95% identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said rgs-CaM protein comprises PTGS suppressing activity.
