    摘要: The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by producing seeds of increased size due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-related gene product. The AGL8-related gene product can have, for example, substantially the amino acid sequence of an AGL8 ortholog such as Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID NO:2). The present invention further provides a non-naturally occurring seed plant that is characterized by producing fruit of increased size due to ectopic expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL8-family gene product. The AGL8-family gene product can have substantially the amino acid sequence of an AGL8 ortholog, for example, the amino acid sequence of Arabidopsis AGL8 (SEQ ID NO:2). Related methods and kits also are provided.

    摘要: Methods of regulating the formation of heterochromatin at a target locus within the genome of a cell and methods of regulating the modification of a histone protein assumed on the DNA of a target locus within the genome of a cell are provided. In particular, the invention provides methods to regulate the structure of the genome of a cell, where the structure is regulated by modulating heterochromatin formation, heterochromatin architecture, histone methylation, and/or DNA methylation, by exposing the cell to an RNAi probe complementary to a target locus so as to activate the RNAi machinery to modify the genomic structure of the target locus and adjacent segments of the genome.
