Abstract
This invention provides a method to autoregulate expression of a transgene susceptible to sRNA silencing by concomitantly transcribing RNA from DNA of a transgene and RNA from DNA from at least one sRNA silencing pathway gene. An aspect of the invention provides use of a recombinant DNA construct that includes DNA of a transgene and DNA of an sRNA silencing regulator. Also disclosed are transgenic cells and organisms having in their genome a recombinant DNA construct that includes DNA of a transgene and DNA of an sRNA silencing regulator.
