Meanings of ptgs in English

In PTGS, the transgene is transcribed but the transcripts fail to accumulate as a result of sequence-specific targeting and destruction.

It has become clear that PTGS occurs in both plants and animals and has roles in viral defense and transposon silencing mechanisms.

Downregulation of endogenous genes via post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a key to the characterization of gene function in plants.
