The disclosure provides plants, plant parts, plant cells, seeds and grain containing a targeted genetic modification that inserts an endogenous microRNA recognition sequence into a gene. The disclosure provides plants, plant parts, plant cells, seeds and grain containing a targeted genetic modification that modifies an endogenous microRNA sequence so that the modified microRNA hybridizes to an endogenous gene. Further provided are methods for decreasing expression of a gene of interest by inserting a microRNA recognition sequence into the gene or modifying an endogenous miRNA sequence to hybridize to the gene |
