How effective is the anti-sense RNA technology in manipulating sodium uptake by plant roots?

01 January 1970 1 3K Report

we know t that anti sense RNA technology is very effective in certain cases, such as the production of Flavr Savr tomato. how effective is this technology in reducing sodium uptake by plant roots, so that salinity tolerance is increased?

Hi Muayed,

I am wondering why don't you use RNAi or CRISPR-CAS9 technology. The efficiency and effct for gene silencing should be better than anti-sense RNA technology.
