Pervasive read-through transcription of T-DNAs is frequent in tobacco BY-2 cells and can effectively induce silencing

Abstract Background Plant transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens is characterized by integration of commonly low number of T-DNAs at random positions in the genome. When integrated into an active gene region, promoterless reporter genes placed near the T-DNA border sequence are frequently tran...
