RNA silencing is an evolutionarily conserved sequence-specific gene-inactivation system
that also functions as an antiviral mechanism in higher plants and insects. To overcome …

RNA silencing is a homology-dependent gene inactivation mechanism that regulates a wide
range of biological processes including antiviral defense. To deal with host antiviral …

Gene silencing (RNA silencing) plays a fundamental role in antiviral defense in plants, fungi
and invertebrates. Viruses encode proteins that suppress gene silencing to counter host …

RNA silencing is an ancient eukaryotic pathway in which double stranded RNA (dsRNA)
triggers destruction of related RNAs in the cell. Early studies in plants pointed to a role for …

RNA silencing is a common strategy shared by eukaryotic organisms to regulate gene
expression, and also operates as a defense mechanism against invasive nucleic acids such …

RNA silencing suppressors, developed by plant viruses, are potent arms in the arm race
between plant and invading viruses. In higher plants, these proteins efficiently inhibit RNA …

SUMMARY RNA silencing is a conserved eukaryotic pathway involved in suppression of
gene expression via sequence‐specific interactions that are mediated by nt 21–24‐long …

RNA silencing is described in plants and insects as a defence mechanism against foreign
nucleic acids, such as invading viruses. The RNA silencing-based antiviral defence involves …

RNA silencing as a robust host defense mechanism against plant viruses is generally
countered by virus-encoded silencing suppressors. This strategy is now increasingly …

RNA silencing in plants and insects can function as a defence mechanism against invading
viruses. RNA silencing-based antiviral defence entails the production of virus-derived small …
