Abstract
The utility of any transgenic plant is ultimately dependent upon the robust control of transgene expression. In this chapter we examine how various endogenous systems that control gene expression in the host genome can lead to transgene silencing. We then explore approaches to mitigate these effects and particularly focus on the benefits offered by chloroplast transformation.
