1. A composition comprising:
- (i) a polynucleotide molecule that comprises at least 18 contiguous nucleotides that are identical or complementary to a plant INVINH1 gene or transcript of said plant gene, wherein said polynucleotide molecule is not operably linked to a promoter or to a viral vector; and
, (ii) a transfer agent comprising an organosilicone preparation that conditions a surface of a plant to permeation by the polynucleotide molecule into cells of the plant.
